Sankt Nikolai kyrka (Church of St. Nicholas), most commonly known as Storkyrkan (The Great Church) is the oldest church in the old town in central Stockholm, Sweden. It is an important example of Swedish Brick Gothic. Storkyrkan was first mentioned in a written source dated 1279. It became a Lutheran Protestant church in 1527. Because of its convenient size and its proximity to the earlier royal castle and the present royal palace it has frequently been the site of major events in Swedish history. Crown Princess Victoria, oldest daughter of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, was married to Daniel Westling on 19 June 2010 at the Storkyrkan, the same date on which her parents were also married in Storkyrkan in 1976.
