St. Eugenia's Church (Stockholm)

It was built in 1982 on plans of the Danish architect Jørgen Kjaergaard and is situated next to the former Royal Gardens, Kungsträdgården in Norrmalm.

When in 1860 religious freedom was officially introduced for all citizens, the Jesuit order established a first community in Sweden and was put in charge of St. Eugenia's pastoral services.

Since the religious building itself is hidden completely behind the neo-Renaissance façade of the former dwelling house, it is hardly visible as a church from outside.

Planted in the sanctuary floor, the monumental cross is carved of wood from the roof-beams of the predecessor church; it bears a figure of Christ from Dalecarlia dating back to the 13th century.

Separated by an adorned grille from the main liturgic space, a St. Mary's Chapel is kept open during the daytime for private visits.
