Stockholm Nights: A Gothic Winter Tale
In the heart of Södermalm, one of Stockholm’s most vibrant and historic districts, stands Katarina Church (Katarina kyrka), a Baroque masterpiece with a story as dramatic as its architecture. Originally built in the late 1600s, the church has endured two devastating fires, in 1723 and 1990, only to rise from the ashes each time—earning its place as a symbol of resilience in the city’s history.
Surrounding the church is its peaceful cemetery, where gravestones and iron-wrought fences echo centuries of lives lived in this iconic part of Stockholm. Among those buried here are prominent Swedes, including Anna Lindh, a former foreign minister, and Cornelis Vreeswijk, a beloved troubadour and poet. Walking through the cemetery feels like stepping into another time, with each snow-covered stone telling its own story under the quiet watch of the church’s spire.
The location adds to its charm—perched on Södermalm, an island known for its mix of bohemian culture and historic charm, Katarina Church is a beacon visible from much of the city. Capturing this scene under the falling snow at night felt like freezing a moment of Stockholm’s timeless beauty, where history, architecture, and winter intertwine in haunting elegance.

The #baroque church of San Bernardo in #rome is built into a circular hall of the #ancient #roman baths of Diocletian, although little of the original masonary can be seen (some of the brick at the back) the church preserve the original, ancient shape and even the stunning octagonal coffering of the dome. #ancientrome #romanempire #ancientarchitecture #architecturalhistory #archaeology #romanhistory #baroquearchitecture
@ArchitectureBot Finally, some real #BaroqueArchitecture from this account. Very nice!
The Baroque era, which lasted from roughly 1580 and 1780, was a time of enormous contrasts: Opulence and innovation, on the one hand; death and crises, on the other. https://www.worldhistory.org/article/2088/baroque-age-of-contrasts---exhibition-interview-sc/ #History #Art #ArtHistory #BaroqueArchitecture
