Hammarby Sjöstad is an exciting new eco-friendly district in Stockholm where the City has imposed tough environmental requirements on buildings, technical installations and the traffic environment, from day one. It is located southeast of Södermalm and east of Johanneshov, bordering Nacka Municipality to the east.

Before the current redevelopment began, the waterside area was known as Södra Hammarbyhamnen (roughly South Hammarby Port), a mainly industrial zone which now houses a library and offices.

New plans for most of the Södermalm area Norra Hammarbyhamnen in the early 1990s opened the door for a redevelopment of the entire area around the water expanse Hammarby Sjö. Although Hammarby Sjöstad is located outside the inner-city Stockholm, the design is intentionally urban rather than suburban, with boulevards, clearly defined and architecturally varied city blocks, and commercial spaces in the ground floor of the buildings.

The old brick passage meets the new church

Saint Eric’s Cathedral is the Roman Catholic cathedral located on Södermalm, the southern part of central Stockholm, Sweden. It was built in 1892 and was raised to the status of a cathedral in 1953, when the Roman Catholic diocese of Stockholm was created (still the only one in Sweden).

The substantial increase in the number of Catholics in Stockholm and Sweden, mostly as a result of immigration after World War II, made the old church insufficient, and an extension, designed by architects Hans Westman and Ylva Lenormand, was inaugurated in 1983, at the 200th anniversary of the re-establishment in 1783 of the Roman Catholic church in Lutheran Sweden.

The church takes it name from Saint Eric, the 12th century king of Sweden who, having been slain by a Danish prince, came to be regarded as a martyr and the patron saint of Stockholm, depicted in the seal and coat of arms of the city. (source Wikipedia)
