Stockholm – Church Details

While wandering in Stockholm during a quick weekend back in August, we popped briefly into two different churches for a look-see (and a bathroom break!).

One of our stops was in the red stone Sankt Johannes kyrka, a neo-gothic stye church designed by Carl Möller and finished in 1890. The other visit was in the white, light-filled baroque revival Gustaf Vasa kyrka, designed by Ali Lindegren and completed in 1901.

Here are a few shots of some details that caught my eye in the two Stockholm churches this past summer.
