Stockholm - German Church

(Local Name: Tyska Kyrka) Southeast of Stockholm's Stortorg is the German Church (Tyska Kyrka; St Gertrude's), which, more than any other church in the city, preserves the character and style of the 17th century. It has a richly gilded altar by Markus Hebel of Neumünster, a magnificent pulpit in ebony and alabaster designed by Nicodemus Tessin the Elder, a royal pew and an organ (by the firm of Peter in Cologne) presented to the church in 1971 on the 400th anniversary of the German community in Stockholm.
