Church of Santa Clara is one of the centrally located churches in Stockholm and the second highest in Scandinavia (the height of the tower - 116 meters).

In 1527 the monastery, which stood on the site of the Church of St. Clara was demolished on the orders of Gustav Vasa, was able to save only a diptych of the interior of the temple. The present church was built in the 1500s, during the reign of King Johan III, the Dutch architect Hendrik van Hoeven, and since then many architects have been involved in the design and construction of the church, including Willem Boy, Goran Joshua Adelkrants Carl Fredrik Adelkrants Carl Harleman and later, from 1963 to 1965, Arthur von Shmalense.

The bell tower of the church of St. Clara was opened Sept. 9, 1965, and has 35 bronze bells. The largest bell weighs 1700 kg and the weight of the smallest - only 20 kg. The total weight of all the bells is 8600 kg. Modern clock tower and power were installed by Westerstrand & Sons during the restoration in 1960.

The cemetery near the church of St. Clare was built in the 1600s, and outwardly it has retained its original appearance, being surrounded by modern buildings. At the cemetery, surrounded by a metal wall, are the graves of well-known public and cultural figures of Sweden, Carl Michael Balmain, Anna Maria Langrom, Carl Gustaf af Leopold, Gustav and Anna Christina Akerhelm Varg. In the church of Santa Clara is also located the crypt, built in the 1700s.

Today, the church of St. Clara is also one of the centers of charitable activities in Stockholm. We are talking about providing food and clothing to the homeless and refugees, carrying out psychological interviews with drug addicts and prostitutes, as well as supervising hospitals and prisons.
