Storkyrkobrinken, Pedestrian street in Gamla Stan, Sweden
Storkyrkobrinken connects Högvaktsterrassen near the Royal Palace to Myntgatan and Riddarhustorget, intersecting with Trångsund, Prästgatan, and Västerlånggatan streets.
In 1422, the street functioned as a gateway called Sancte Nicolauese Port, featuring a statue of Saint Nicholas that merchants would honor before maritime journeys.
The street derives its name from its location next to Storkyrkan Cathedral, reflecting the strong connection between religious landmarks and urban development in Stockholm.
The pedestrian zone provides direct access to multiple intersecting streets while maintaining separation from vehicular traffic for enhanced pedestrian safety.
During the Swedish Empire in 1637, the street temporarily changed its name to Slottsgatan before receiving its current designation as Storkyrkobrinken in 1771.
