St. Mary Magdalene Church is located in the north of the Södermalm district, between Slussen and Mariatorget. The church, consecrated in 1634, was rebuilt several times in the 17th century and severely damaged by fire in 1759. It got its present appearance by the reconstruction in the years 1760-1763 after plans of the Stockholm architect Carl Johan Cronstedt. The present church tower in neoclassical style was completed in 1825.
The grave of the Swedish poet and composer Evert Taubeis located in the cemetery of the Maria Magdalena Church.
