The Stockholm Swedish Lutheran Church and Cemetery is a historic building and cemetery in Shickley, Nebraska. The parish was established in 1875 by immigrants from Sweden.[2] In 1878, they turned a five-acre parcel into a cemetery.[2] The church was built in 1900–1901 by A. A. Gustafson, and designed in the Gothic Revival style by architect N. K. Aldrich.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since June 30, 1995.[1]
