| | Riddarhuset and Riddarholmskyrkan, Sweden. Travel guide & tourist information by Hostelbookers.com |
 | | If Stockholm's history has gripped you, it's better to head west from Stortorget towards the handsome Baroque Riddarhuset (daily Mon–Fri 11.30am–12.30pm; www.riddarhuset.se; 40kr), the seventeenth-century "House of Nobles". |
 | | It was in the Great Hall here that the Swedish aristocracy met during the Parliament of the Four Estates (1668–1865) and their coats of arms – around 2500 of them – are splattered across the walls. |
 | | From Riddarhuset it takes only a matter of seconds to cross the bridge onto Riddarholmen (Island of the Knights), to visit the Riddarholmskyrkan (May–Aug daily 10am–4pm; Sept Sat & Sun noon–3pm; 30kr), the burial place for Swedish royalty ever since Magnus Ladulås was sealed up here in 1290. |
