Description: PLEASE, no multi invitations in your comments. Thanks. I AM POSTING MANY DO NOT FEEL YOU HAVE TO COMMENT ON ALL - JUST ENJOY. There was staging everywhere in this church as a royal wedding is going to happen here and it was being repaired. So this was the only picture I got, didn't expect to get inside. Storkyrkan was first mentioned in 1279, and became a Lutheran Protestant church in 1527. It has also been the cathedral of Stockholm since 1942. The last Swedish king to be crowned here was Oscar II in 1873. The most famous of its treasures is the dramatic wooden statue of Saint George (1489). The statue, commissioned to commemorate the Battle of Brunkeberg (1471), also serves as a reliquary, containing relics supposedly of Saint George and two other saints.
