German Church, sometimes called the Church. Gertrude's, located in Gamla Stan, the historic centre of Stockholm. Located between the streets Tyska Brinken, Kindstugatan, Svartmangatan and Prastgatan, it is named after the area, where in the middle ages, mainly Germans. The Church is dedicated to Saint Gertrude (626-659), abbess of the Benedictine monastery of Nivelles, in modern Belgium and the patron of travelers.

German Guild of St. Gertrude was founded on the site of the present Church in the 14th century. Although the Guild was created by German merchants, their Swedish colleagues often received invitations to join its activities. The headquarters of the Guild was gradually rebuilt into a Church since 1580-s

Although the number of German merchants and artisans was great in Stockholm in the Middle ages, they had no place of worship until, until in 1558 king Gustav Vasa did not give them permission to do so. In 1571 king John III authorized German immigrants in the city to invite priests from Germany, and thus was created the first German parish outside of Germany, which held its first service in the monastery on Riddarholmen, and in the next five years, moved to the former building of the German Guild.

The German interior of the Church is made in the Baroque style, with large Windows contribute to the penetration of a large amount of light that illuminates the white arches of the walls and numerous angels. The building is still preserved wine cellars of the original building Guild. The window of the atrium represents the sacred vessel that holds the Cup in one hand and a model of the Church in the other. The altar is in Baroque style, and the so-called "gallery of kings" crowned monogram of king Charles XI.

Services in the German language continued to be held every Sunday at 11 a.m., and the Church is open daily in summer and weekends in winter.
