Kristi Förklarings ortodoxa kyrka
Kristi Förklarings ortodoxa kyrka, Orthodox church in Vasastaden, Stockholm, Sweden.
Kristi Förklarings ortodoxa kyrka stands at Birger Jarlsgatan 98 and features traditional Eastern Orthodox architectural elements with intricate interior decorations and domes. The building contains religious artwork and icon paintings that define its interior spaces.
The church was founded in 1905 and belongs to one of the oldest Russian congregations outside Russia. The establishment of this congregation traces back to the Peace of Stolbova in 1617, which set the foundation for Russian presence in the region.
The church displays Orthodox religious artwork and icons across its walls and ceilings, conveying Eastern Christian traditions through visual sacred narratives. Visitors can observe these detailed artistic elements directly while spending time inside the building.
Regular Orthodox Christian services take place in this building, which received official heritage building status recognition on March 25, 1999. Visitors should know that the building has specific opening times and that religious conduct is expected during services.
The building represents a Russian house church design pattern that developed before the Russian Revolution and was specifically adapted for the Swedish urban setting. This construction style shows how Russian communities implemented their traditions within a Nordic context.
