Storkyrkan
Storkyrkan or Sankt Nikolai kyrka (The Great Church or Saint Nicolaus Church) is the oldest church in Stockholm and has been the cathedral of Stockholm since the Diocese of Stockholm was broken out from the Archdiocese of Uppsala in 1942. It is situated next to the Royal Palace.
The single-tower church is built of brick, covered in plaster and painted yellow with white details. It originates as a 13th century Gothic structure, but the exterior was substantially remodelled in Baroque style ca 1740 by the architect Johan Eberhard Carlberg.
