Hedvig Eleonora Church
Hedvig Eleonora Church, Baroque church in Östermalm, Sweden
The Hedvig Eleonora Church features a grand central dome built in 1868, natural stone walls, and stands at the center of Östermalmstorg square.
The church was designed by architects Jean de la Vallée and Göran Josuæ Adelcrantz, with construction completed on August 21, 1737.
The interior contains the Golden Altar, gifted by industrialist Johan Clason, and an altarpiece painted by Georg Engelhard Schröder in 1738.
The church maintains limited wheelchair access and currently prohibits large bags and backpacks due to security measures.
The main bell, weighing 4.73 tons, was taken as war spoils from Kronborg Castle in Denmark, making it one of Sweden's heaviest church bells.
