Description Tyska kyrkan, sometimes called St. Gertrude's Church. It's a church in Gamla Stan, the old town in central Stockholm, Sweden.

Located between the streets Tyska Brinken, Kindstugatan, Svartmangatan, and Prästgatan, it is named for standing in the centre of a neighbourhood during the Middle Ages dominated by Germans. Officially named Sankta Gertrud, the church is dedicated to Saint Gertrude (626-659), abbess of the Benedictine monastery of Nivelles, in present-day Belgium, and patron saint of travellers.
