History
The cathedral was built in 1889-1890 according to the project of architect and originally belonged to the community of the Catholic Apostolic Church in Stockholm [1] .
In 1978 [2] , after the termination of the activities of the Irvingian community, the temple premises for a nominal fee were acquired by the Swedish and Scandinavian Metropolis and, after the necessary reconstruction of the interior, turned into a cathedral consecrated in honor of St. George the Victorious [3] .
Greek services are performed on Sundays and holidays.
