St. Clara Church

St. Clara Church is located in the heart of Stockholm, in the lower Normalm area. The church on this site was founded in 1280.

Of course, like most buildings with such a solid age, the church was repeatedly demolished and rebuilt. The original church building was demolished in 1527 and a new one was built in 1572 during the reign of Johan III.

Near the church there is a cemetery where famous Swedish poets are buried, including the tomb of Karl Michael Bellman. At the entrance to the cemetery there is a monument in honor of the poet Niels Ferlin, who was a representative of the “Bohema Clara”.

Now the Church of St. Clara is the best preserved ancient building in this part of the city, which is surrounded by new buildings.
