Royal Chapel, Baroque chapel in Gamla stan, Sweden
The Royal Chapel occupies a central position within Stockholm Palace, featuring detailed ceiling paintings depicting the Ascension of Jesus Christ and ornate decorative elements.
Architects Nicodemus Tessin the Younger and Carl Hårleman designed this religious structure, which opened its doors to worshippers in December 1754.
The chapel serves the Royal Parish, consisting of Royal Court employees and their families, while maintaining regular Sunday services open to all visitors.
Access to the Royal Chapel interior, with its artistic ceilings and religious artifacts, is available daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
The original pew doors made by Georg Haupt survived the great fire of 1697 and were transferred from King Karl XI's previous palace chapel.
