About Storkyrkan
The cathedral is open every day from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM.
We recommend visiting this cathedral outside the tourist season to avoid crowds since it’s a popular tourist destination. For the same reason, we recommend going there on weekdays or in the morning.
More commonly known as Storkyrkan, the Stockholm Cathedral has the distinction of being the oldest church in the city. Here are some of the things you can do in this cathedral:
- Examine its contrasting exterior and interior. The facade is distinctly Baroque, while the interior features a mix of Gothic and Baroque styles.
- Visit an important place in Swedish history. Storkyrkan has been a stage for many important events in the history of Sweden. It was the first place of worship that publicly preached Lutheranism and the first place to host a Mass entirely in Swedish. Additionally, the cathedral has been the site of royal weddings and coronations on many occasions.
- Admire a beautiful medieval statue. Saint George and the Dragon depicts the events of the eponymous legend, namely, the fight between the saint and the dragon.
- Look at the oldest painting depicting Stockholm. Vadersolstavlan (The Sundog Painting in Swedish) displays a halo above Stockholm observed on 20 April 1535.
Storkyrkan is located in Gamla Stan, the Old Town of Stockholm in the city center. You can get there by bus, metro, and on foot. Buses 3 and 57 pass close to the cathedral; you can walk to the cathedral from Riddarhustorget (3) and Slottsbacken (57) bus stops.
