So this is the oldest existing building in Stockholm. So it seems like a good place to start your Stockholm adventures. It’s a little different from the average cathedral or church, since it’s really focused on the Royals. But it is a great place to learn about the heritage of the different royal families in Sweden. Lots of crypts to be found here.
I booked a combined ticket for Kungliga Slottet and this place, both worth to see and if you book online like me, you won't have have to wait in queue There wasn't a long queue
The precious cradle of Sweden and the Swedish monarchy. A jewel to behold especially inside. Being able to walk on the same stone slabs as many monarchs throughout centuries will definitely have an effect on those who cherish European multi secular history.
The surrounding view is more artistic. I don't think it's necessary to go into this church because it looks nice and beautiful enough even if you don't go in there.
Few of the crowds in the Royal Palace seemed to bother with the short walk to this church, which made it a quiet and peaceful place to visit even on a Friday afternoon. It is an eclectic mix of styles, having been added to repeatedly over the years, and is pretty much stuffed full with royal tombs and sarcophagi, the walls covered in the royal plaques from the Order of the Seraphim. As the burial church of many of the Swedish kings and royals up to 1950, it is an interesting place, and you can spend a surprisingly long time exploring and learning about the history. A visit to the church definitely completes a trip to the palace and learning about the Swedish royal family.
