Lonely Planet review

This saintly show-off flaunts a white Italian neo-baroque exterior and 60m-high cupola adorned with dreamy New Testament frescoes by Vicke Andrén. Opened in 1906, its star attraction is Burchardt Precht's 18th-century marble altarpiece, considered Sweden's largest baroque sculpture. The creepy columbarium crypt (32 49 20) has places for around 35,000 burial urns; enter from the Västmannagatan side of the church.
