Hammarby Church, Medieval church complex in Upplands Väsby Municipality, Sweden
The stone church features a tall tower, medieval walls, and a cemetery surrounded by traditional Swedish landscaping within Stockholm County borders.
The construction of Hammarby Church began in the 12th century, with expansions added during the 14th and 15th centuries, including architectural modifications.
The interior contains medieval frescos uncovered during the 1917 renovation, along with designs by architect Jean Eric Rehn and artwork by Olle Hjortzberg.
Visitors can reach the church by car or public transportation from Stockholm, with regular services held throughout the week and special events on weekends.
The church walls hold untold stories beneath layers of paint, as numerous medieval elements were discovered during various restoration projects over centuries.
