Sofia kyrka stands on the north east peak of Vita Bergen. It bears the name of the Swedish queen Sophia of Nassau.
The building was designed during an architectural competition in 1899 and was inaugurated in 1906. It is located in the eastern part of the island of Södermalm and belongs to the Sofia parish of the Church of Sweden.
Architect Gustaf Hermansson designed the church, which is a notable example of neo-romanesque architecture.
