It is an important example of Swedish Brick Gothic. Storkyrkan was first mentioned in a written source dated 1279 and according to tradition was originally built by Birger Jarl (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birger_Jarl), the founder of the city itself. For nearly four hundred years it was the only parish church in the city, the other churches of comparible antiquity originally built to serve the spiritual needs religious communities (e. g., Riddarholm Church (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riddarholm_Church)). It became a Lutheran Protestant church in 1527. The parish church since the Middle Ages of the Nikolai parish, covering the whole island on which the Old Town stands, it has also been the cathedral of Stockholm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm) since the Diocese of Stockholm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diocese_of_Stockholm_%28Church_of_Sweden%29) was created out of the Archdiocese of Uppsala (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archdiocese_of_Uppsala) and the Diocese of Strängnäs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diocese_of_Str%C3%A4ngn%C3%A4s) in 1942. 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, such as coronations, royal wedding and royal funerals. The last Swedish king to be crowned here was Oscar II (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_II_of_Sweden) in 1873. Crown Princess Victoria (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_Princess_Victoria), oldest daughter of King Carl XVI Gustaf (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Carl_XVI_Gustaf) and Queen Silvia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Silvia), was married to Daniel Westling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Westling) on 19 June 2010 at the Storkyrkan, the same date on which her parents were also married in Storkyrkan in 1976.
