Dalby Church, Medieval church building in Uppsala Municipality, Sweden.
Dalby Church is a medieval stone structure in the Uppsala region with a nave, south aisle, west tower, and a porch added during the thirteenth century. The building has been modified over the centuries but retains many original elements from its early period of construction.
The church was built during the medieval period as a place of worship for the local community. In 1686 the apse was demolished, and in 1750 the eastern section partially collapsed, leading to significant structural changes.
The church takes its name from the nearby village of Dalby and displays medieval artworks inside, including wooden sculptures and a decorated baptismal font. These works reflect the religious devotion and artistic taste of the people who worshipped here across the centuries.
The site combines the church building with a cemetery and serves the local parish community. Visitors should note this is an active place of worship where respectful behavior is expected when exploring the grounds.
The crypt contains four decorated pillars supporting groin vaults with architectural similarities to Lund Cathedral. This rare combination of decorative details and vault construction makes the crypt a particularly interesting architectural feature.
