Appears in a description of Sorunda church in Södermanland on a tourist website I'm translating:
I kyrkan finns också ett madonnaskåp av Herman Rodes verkstad i Lübeck, troligen från 1480-talet.

madonna niche
Considering Sweden was Catholic at the time, I would prefer madonna niche. Catholic churches are filled with niches for saints. Shrine, on the other hand, is very broad, and often includes entire churches or outdoor places of worship
