Saint Erics chapel

Saint Erics Chapel is a brick building on Kungsholmen island in Stockholm, constructed as a funeral chapel. The structure features traditional church elements and stands at Grubbensringen 1.

The chapel opened in 1913 as a dedicated funeral service space for the Kungsholmen community. The building has maintained its original design from that early period.

The chapel honors Eric IX, a saint in Swedish Lutheran tradition. Visitors can feel this religious connection reflected in how the space is used and decorated.

The building is managed by the Diocese of Stockholm and is accessible for memorial and funeral services. Visitors should wear appropriate attire and maintain a respectful atmosphere.

The building preserves rare examples of early 20th-century Swedish funeral chapel design that often goes unnoticed compared to other religious buildings in Stockholm. This specialized purpose makes it a unique place of remembrance.
