Saint John's Church, Gothic Revival church in Norrmalm, Sweden
Saint John's Church is a Gothic Revival building constructed from red brick, rising prominently above Stockholm's Norrmalm district. The structure displays detailed decorative moldings and ornamental patterns that run across its exterior walls.
The church was inaugurated in 1890, replacing an earlier wooden church that stood in the same location. It was built during a period of major urban growth and expansion in Stockholm.
The church is named after Saint John the Evangelist and serves as an active place of worship for the local community. Its red brick walls and tall spire have become part of Stockholm's religious landscape.
The church is open to visitors on weekdays and welcomes those interested in exploring its interior spaces and architecture. It is best to visit during posted opening hours and respect any ongoing services or events.
The French philosopher René Descartes was temporarily buried in the church's cemetery in 1650 before his remains were moved elsewhere. A memorial plaque inside the building marks this unexpected connection to European intellectual history.
