Sånga Church

Sånga Church stands on Färingsö island near Svartsjö Palace, featuring a tall spire constructed in 1730 and enlarged windows throughout its structure.

The church foundations date back to 1101, with subsequent expansions during the 14th and 15th centuries transforming its architecture from Romanesque to Gothic style.

The interior walls display extensive frescos from 1470, depicting Christian themes alongside detailed illustrations of the fifteen signs predicting the Last Judgment.

The church maintains regular Lutheran services and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural features at coordinates 59.3581 latitude and 17.7075 longitude.

Within the church walls hangs a wooden epitaph from 1584 containing one of Sweden's earliest landscape paintings, second only to Vädersolstavlan.
