Johann Gustav Stockenberg

Johan(n) Gustav Stockenberg (c.1660 – c.1710, Tallinn) was a Swedish sculptor and stonemason who worked in Sweden, Russia and mainly in Reval (now Tallinn, Estonia).

Work

Stockenberg took part in the reconstruction of the Saint Mary's Cathedral in Reval (Tallinn) after it had been severely damaged by fire in 1684. From 1687 he was employed to work on conversions and improvements to Toompea Castle.

His best known works are several stone sarcophagi that were commissioned for prominent people buried in Saint Mary's Cathedral, notably the grave monuments for the Swedish Field Marshals Fabian von Fersen and Otto Wilhelm von Fersen.

Stockenberg died in Reval.
