This church is one of the most known churches in Stockholm. Destroyed by fire two times during its lifetime, the church has been rebuilt as recently as the 1990s. Named after the mother of King Charles X of Sweden, Princess Catherine, it took many years to build this facility as funding was a challenge for its patron. The church reflects the stylistic design of three architects. Jean de la Vallée was the original architect, in 1723 Göran Josua Adelcrantz designed the octagonal tower and the reconstruction following the first fire and, Ove Hidemark oversaw the reconstruction in 1990 when all but the exterior walls burned to the ground. The last reconstruction took many painstaking years, as care was taken to make sure the church was replicated and restored to its original 17th century appearance using materials common to the time period.

A picturesque church close to the harbour. We weren't inside though, but it looks like a newly renovated church that is located in the middle of some really beautiful, "retro-style" looking buildings. Probably worth having a look inside, but we didn't have too much spare time.

Beautiful churchyard. Impressive church, from outside. Quite modest, from inside. That is due to the fires that have destroyed the church twice. Interesting acoustics. The assassinated foreign minister Anna Lindh is buried in the churchyard cemetery.

Beautiful church girt by an equally beautiful graveyard. It was very touching to see all the cared for headstones, many decorated with flowers and cards. I would like to return to spend more time reflecting and contemplating in the serene grounds.

La Iglesia de Santa Catalina (katarina kyrka), se construyó en el siglo XVII en estilo barroco con planta en forma de cruz griega, y se trata de una de las iglesias más bonitas de Estocolmo. La iglesia fue destruida casi por completo por incendios en dos ocasiones; tras el primer incendio recibió el actual campanario de ocho caras. La iglesia se levanta en una zona de cementerio de unos 160 por 160 metros, en el que están enterrados varios personajes conocidos, como la política Anna Lindh o el poeta Per Anders Fogelström, cuya novela Sommaren med Monika (El tiempo con Monika) fue el modelo para la película homónima de Ingmar Bergman de 1953.

Visité esta iglesia dentro de un free tour en Estocolmo. Está en la isla de Södermalm, la mayor de la ciudad, es la zona hípster. Al lado hay un cementerio cuidadísimo que parece un jardín. Solo la visité por fuera porque estaba cerrada. Según la guía, las iglesias luterana son muy austeras por dentro por lo que no me perdí mucho por lo visto. El entorno es muy agradable y hay un montón de historias curiosas de la zona. Recomiendo la visita guiada.
