A thousand years ago by the sword.
It wasn't a pleasant conversion like some of your answerers seem to think...but then are they actually thinking?

A long time ago. Missionaries, mainly from what is now Germany, were trickling in during the 900's. We know that King Olof Skötkonung was baptized at Husaby in 1008. Christianity was accepted rather more speedily after that. What the king does is more socially acceptable, at least if he's a popular king. It is assumed that violence was not so frequently used in christianizing Sweden as it was in Norway, where torture and murder were considered quite the thing to make people change their minds and become devoted Christians.

According to the relevant passages in I Ikeananians 26-29, Jesus visited Oslo on his way to hide the tablets for Joseph Smith in the US. Some Swedes visiting Norway for a salt purchase heard his message there, and took it home with them.

The 11th Century, when King Olof was baptised by St Sigfrid. But their main "pagan" temple wasn't destroyed for another century. Only 23% of Swedes today believe in God.

When is up for debate, but it is when other Christians who were spreading throughout Europe got into Sweden and started evangelizing and converting people.

someone told them about having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and a light bulb turned on in their heads, and they said, oh yah, that makes sense. it's kinda like when your a kid and you realize santa is not real, only the opposite.
