St. Clare's Priory, Stockholm, Medieval priory in central Stockholm, Sweden.
The monastic complex contained living quarters, a church, and gardens enclosed by walls near the present-day Klara Church location.
King Magnus III of Sweden established the priory in 1286, entrusting his daughter Princess Richeza Magnusdotter as abbess from 1335 to 1347.
The priory accepted members from merchant families alongside aristocrats, creating a diverse religious community during the medieval period in Stockholm.
The buildings were dismantled in 1527, and materials were repurposed for Stockholm's defensive walls during the Swedish Reformation period.
Archaeological excavations in 1906 revealed original cellar vaults from the priory beneath the current street level.
