The 5 Best Churches & Cathedrals in Östermalm, Stockholm County
The capital city of Sweden combines modern attractions with historic charm. Kick off your stay with visits to Stockholm’s two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Royal Palace Drottningholm (the residence of the royal family) and the magical Skogskyrkogården, or Woodland Cemetery. Stroll the cobblestone streets of Old Town and over the picturesque bridges that span the city’s canals. The 19th-century Skansen was the world’s first open-air museum and is still a premier place to learn about Swedish history.

Reviewed By hansolofh - Stockholm, Sweden
This church is a baroque church, but it is nothing baroque in the meaning grotesque in its design. It is in my view an extremely beautiful church. They started to build it 350 year ago for the people in the navy. It has never been rebuilt, even if the dome is finished much later. And the original design has been brought back by the last restauration around ten years ago. Its exterior is very fetching with the traditional colour of old Stockholm buildings, a warm yellow. In the warm part of the year it is surrounded with a lot of green in form of the large trees that surround it, a perfect colour combination. However, it also nice with some snow on the black roof. Inside, beside the harmony of the whole room, I want to draw your attention to the pulpit and the altar. The pulpit is baroque at its best, it is extremally nice. The altar is a perfect combination with a large painting of the crucifixion and a small glass window with the Ascension of Christ over it. The glasswork in the chapel of Andreas is also very nice.
