St Nicholas Cathedral is currently the main cathedral church of the Church of Sweden.
It is one of the oldest churches in Stockholm, and although it is not equal in size to the more famous Riddarholm Church or the German Church, it is at least equal to them in importance.

The construction of the five-nave basilica was completed in 1279.
Architecture and form of the church
The exterior of the cathedral is built in an artful Gothic style, and at first glance it is lost in the shadow of the much larger Royal Palace, which stands on the opposite side of the square.
However, be sure to visit the interior as well, which will enchant you with its unique brick Gothic style and beautiful stained glass windows.
