Solna kyrkby

Solna kyrkby is a religious complex in Solna Municipality that includes a church, vicarage, and historic stable building arranged around the grounds. The site sits near Karolinska Hospital and Hagaparken, making it accessible to visitors exploring the area.

The church at this site dates back to the 1180s, a period when Solna parish covered much of what is now central Stockholm and surrounding areas. Over time, additional structures were built on the grounds to support the parish and its community.

The cemetery here serves as the resting place for several notable Swedish writers and poets who shaped the country's literary tradition. This makes the grounds a significant place for those interested in Swedish cultural history.

The site is easily reached by public transport at the Solna kyrka bus stop, making access straightforward for visitors. Daytime visits work best for exploring the grounds and understanding the layout of the various buildings.

The Saint Martin's Stable was built in 1813 as a vicarage stable and was later repurposed as a church stable under the direction of pastor J.O. Wallin. This transformation shows how the buildings here adapted to serve the community's changing needs over time.
