The Stockholm Sweden Temple (Swedish: Templet i Stockholm) is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Västerhaninge, a suburb south of Stockholm, Sweden. Opened in 1985, it became the church's first temple in Scandinavia, and the 34th in operation worldwide. Following years of frost-inflicted damage to the structure, the temple was closed in 2023 and subsequently demolished. As of 2024, a new temple structure is currently being constructed on the same site. Prior to its closure, the temple was serving members in Sweden, Norway, and Latvia. Swedish architect John Sjöström collaborated with the church's architectural staff to design the original temple, which included six spires, a masonry exterior, and a copper roof, with a gold-leafed statue of the angel Moroni atop the tallest spire. 16,366 square feet (1,520.5 m2) of space inside the temple featured four ordinance rooms, three sealing rooms, and a baptistry. The reconstructed temple is to be of similar design, although its size will be increased to approximately 31,000 square feet (2,900 m2). The 4.47-acre (1.81 ha) wooded site also features a guesthouse for patrons, and includes a portion of the Åby Grave Field, where archaeological excavations prior to construction of the temple uncovered hundreds of Iron Age graves.
