St. James Church has always been on my list to visit, but not because of its name but because of its distinct red colour and I wondered what holds inside. This place does not have normal visiting hours but I know for sure, it opens on a Saturday from 11am - 12pm because I visited the church during that hour. Haha! It is a simple church inside but worth stopping for a visit, nonetheless.
Saint James's Church (Swedish: Sankt Jacobs kyrka) is a church in central Stockholm, Sweden, dedicated to apostle Saint James the Greater, patron saint of travellers. It is often mistakenly called St Jacob's. The confusion arises because Swedish, like many other languages, uses the same name for both James and Jacob.
Arguably the most central church in the Swedish capital, surrounded by the popular park Kungsträdgården, the Royal Opera, the square Gustav Adolfs torg; and near Sergels torg, the Royal Palace, and governmental office Rosenbad, the parish of the church was limited to 150 souls in the late 1980s, and was thus merged into the parish of the Stockholm Cathedral in 1989.
