EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the breathtaking beauty and rich history of Stockholm's Ridderholmen harbor and the majestic Cathedral, a site of significant historical importance in Sweden. The Cathedral of Ridderholmen, also known as the Royal Chapel, has been the coronation church of Sweden since 1527. Here, the monarchs of Sweden have been crowned and blessed by the Archbishop, marking the beginning of their reign. After a decent interval, the rulers are then laid to rest in the crypt beneath the Cathedral, joining the long line of Swedish monarchs who have come before them. The serene waters of the harbor reflect the grandeur of the Cathedral, with its distinctive red spires and intricate stonework, creating a stunning contrast against the clear blue sky. The image, captured in 1882, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of grandeur and tradition. The peaceful atmosphere of the harbor, with its boats gently bobbing on the water, adds to the sense of tranquility and history, making this a truly captivating and historic scene. Ridderholmen, located on the eastern tip of the island of Gamla Stan, has been an important part of Stockholm's history for centuries. The area, which translates to 'Knight's Isle', has been the site of royal residences, fortifications, and churches since the Middle Ages. Today, it remains a popular tourist destination, offering visitors a glimpse into Sweden's rich history and cultural heritage.
