St. Lawrence's Church, Söderköping

It is located in central Söderköping and functions as a parish church within the Diocese of Linköping.

During its history, it has been reconstructed, renovated (not least as a consequence of damage from recurrent floodings caused by the nearby Söderköpingsån) and altered on several occasions, but retains much of its medieval form and look.

[3] The interior today is a typical hall church, dominated by white-washed vaulting.

[3] The church also contains some noteworthy inventories, such as a late medieval altarpiece, possibly French; a Triumph Cross possibly made in Vadstena circa 1400; a processional crucifix from the 13th century and several medieval carved wooden statuettes of saints.

[5] The second was when Birger Magnusson and Martha of Denmark were crowned King and Queen of Sweden in the church in 1302.
