In the immediate vicinity of the Royal Castle lies the Storkyrkan. Literally translated, her name means "the great church". Storkyrkan has been Stockholm Cathedral since 1942.

Stortorget, Gamla Stan (Old Town)

Highlight • Historical Site

It may not be particularly large, but it is all the more steeped in history - Stortorget, Stockholm's former market square in the colorful Gamla Stan. Even without knowing about the events that took place here a long time ago, you can sense that this square is something special. The beautiful facades and gables of the buildings on the west side of Stortorget, as well as the cozy cafés on the ground floor of the houses, suggest that the square had an almost idyllic past. But appearances are deceptive. What is probably the most frequently photographed city motif today was the scene of a gruesome bloodbath towards the end of 1520. When the Danish King Christian "Tyrant" II ordered the execution of over 80 members of Stockholm's upper society, the condemned were literally beheaded on this square. The legendary Stockholm bloodbath colored the floor of Stortorget blood red and brought the king a "success" that lasted only a few years. It can't be a coincidence that exactly 82 white stones were embedded in the house at Stortorget 20.

An equally dominant and important building is the former stock exchange, which was inaugurated by King Gustav III at the end of the 18th century. For many years, both the stock exchange and the Swedish Academy were housed under the roof of this building. Since 2001, the Nobel Museum has been located in this building, which is quite interesting, but with its promising name promises more than the exhibits on display can deliver. The wall of the house on the corner of Prästgatan and Kakbrinken is worth seeing. In the 11th century, a rune stone was walled into this wall, but its function can no longer be determined. All in all, Stortorget is a picturesque jewel of the Swedish metropolis, and one should be willing to allow oneself to be enchanted by its medieval charm.

German Church (Tyska kyrkan)

Highlight • Religious Site

Germans have played a significant role in the history of Stockholm. In the old town of Gamla Stan, the names of streets and buildings bear witness to the fact that half the population here was once German. Here is also the German church, "Tyska kyrkan". The church dates from around 1640. The interior style is German late Renaissance and Baroque.

Gamla Stan (Stockholm Old Town)

Highlight • Settlement

Gamla stan (Swedish; actually gamla staden, "the old town") is the old town of the Swedish capital Stockholm, located on the island of Stadsholmen. It is located in the Södermalm district. In Gamla stan you can find the castle built by Nicodemus Tessin the Younger as well as the two churches Storkyrkan (St. Nicholas Church) and Tyska kyrkan (German Church). In the Storkyrkan you can find the outstanding medieval equestrian sculpture of St. George fighting the dragon by Bernt Notke, which can also be found in bronze in the old town.

As a tourist you really have to come here.

Tyska Kyrkan (German Church) Lutheran Church is the second major church in Gamla Stan. It was created in the 13th century. During the heyday of the Hanseatic League, many German merchants came to Stockholm. Worship services are still held in German today. The tower is the highest point of Gamla Stan with a height of 96 meters.
