From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jacob Tengström (December 4, 1755 in Kokkola - December 26, 1832 in Turku) was a Finnish Lutheran archbishop.

He succeeded Jakob Gadolin upon his death in 1802 where he became bishop of Turku until 1817 when the title of "Bishop of Turku" ceased to exist and was elevated to archiepiscopal rank in 1817. The title of the see was changed to Archbishop of Turku and Finland, and Tengström became the first archbishop until his death in 1832.
