The gothic interiors of Storkyrkan (the Great Church) date back to the 1280ies, but numerous additions have been made since and the present exterior is from the middle of the 18th century.
The numerous sights inside the church include the magnificent altar in ebony and silver from 1650, the ornate 17th century royal pews and the famous statue of St.George and the Dragon, a wooden sculpture carved by Bernt Notke in 1489 and regarded as one of the finest medieval monuments in Scandinavia. The statue is an allegory over the battle of Brunkeberg in 1471, when an army led by Sweden's chancellor Sten Sture defeated a Danish army.
On one wall hangs the oldest known oil painting showing medieval Stockholm. Another noteworthy work of art is Ehrenstrahl's gigantic canvas depicting heaven and hell.
