Lonely Planet review for Storkyrkan

One-time venue of royal weddings and coronations, Stockholm’s 700-year-old cathedral is also its oldest parish church. The Gothic-cum- baroque interior includes extravagant royal-box pews designed by Nicodemus Tessin the Younger and the famous Parhelion Painting, a 1630 copy of the earlier original depicting Stockholm during an eerie display of atmospheric optics in 1535. The star attraction, however, is German Berndt Notke’s dramatic Gothic sculpture St George and the Dragon, commissioned by Sten Sture the Elder to commemorate his victory over the Danes in 1471.
