A Historic Landmark: Bromma Church

Bromma Church stands as one of Stockholm’s ancient edifices, nestled in the eponymous district to the city’s west. Dating back to the latter half of the 12th century, its circular central section remains an iconic feature, representing a unique architectural style.

Alongside Bromma Church, Solna Church and Munsö Church were also erected during this era, contributing to the rich tapestry of round church architecture in medieval Sweden.

Over the centuries, Bromma Church has undergone several renovations and expansions, reflecting changes in architectural styles and religious practices.
