You’ll find the Cathedral in the Old Town, between the Royal Palace and Stortorget, in the very heart of medieval Stockholm.
The Building and Its History
Since the 1300s, Storkyrkan – Stockholm Cathedral – has stood at the center of Sweden’s religious and political life. Historic events and influential figures have left their mark, both inside and out, and continue to do so today through royal weddings and the annual opening of the Swedish Parliament.
The Cathedral is home to several renowned artefacts, including the wooden sculpture St George and the Dragon and the striking Parhelion painting.
The building has been extended multiple times and features painted ceilings dating back to its earliest construction.
Music Life
The Cathedral’s rich musical tradition has drawn some of Sweden’s most distinguished organists and choir conductors. Concerts are held weekly in the Cathedral.
Storkyrkan is the mother church of the Church of Sweden’s Diocese of Stockholm. Lutheran in tradition, it offers a warm welcome to people of all backgrounds and beliefs.
We invite you to discover the Cathedral, enjoy a concert, take part in a service, or simply find a moment of peace in the midst of a busy day.
