Storkyrkan The Great Church, also called Stockholm Cathedral and Church of Saint Nicholas, is the oldest church in Stockholm. It was consecrated to Saint Nicholas in 1306 but construction of the church probably started in the 13th century.nnInside, Storkyrkan still maintains much of its late medieval appearance in the form of a hall church with a vaulted ceiling supported by brick pillars. The exterior of the church is however uniformly Baroque in appearance, the result of extensive changes made in the 18th century.nnIt currently serves as the seat of the Bishop of Stockholm within the Church of Sweden since the creation of the Diocese of Stockholm in 1942.nnThe church contains several important works of art as well as elaborate furnishings, among these a late medieval sculpture of Saint George and the Dragon. It can been seen as a victory monument commemorating the Swedish victory over the Danish army in 1471.
This is my favorite church in Stockholm and a must visit if you like European cathedrals. The interior decor is beautiful! The church isn’t very big, but is well worth the visit.
I really enjoyed this building! It is very sophisticated, grandiose, and has a great interesting history. It is also of very impressive size. The area is busy, so the cathedral gets crowded often.
A must see when you visit Stockholm! The cathedral is beautiful and you can find many important pieces of religious art. One of the most important one here is Saint George fighting a dragon!
Stunning church. A must in Stockholm- top object is St George fighting the dragon sculpture. Very unique, medieval masterpiece. Church also contains an image of Stockholm from XV century.
