Saint Sava Serbian Orthodox Cathedral stands in Enskede gård, southern Stockholm, as a brick church built in 1991 to replace a mold-damaged earlier building on the same site.

The building began offering religious services to the Serbian community in 1991 and received its formal dedication in 2014, establishing an official religious center in Scandinavia. This milestone marked the growth of Serbian Orthodox presence in Northern Europe.
The church serves as a spiritual center for Stockholm's Serbian Orthodox community and displays their traditions through regular services and religious observances. Visitors can experience Byzantine liturgical practices and how a diaspora community maintains its faith in Scandinavia.
The church in Stockholm offers regular Orthodox services that are open for visitors to attend liturgical ceremonies or explore the interior. Keep in mind that this is an active place of worship, so respectful behavior and awareness of ongoing religious practices are important during a visit.
