Vallentuna church, Medieval church in Vallentuna, Sweden.
Vallentuna church is a stone structure built from granite and brick in central Sweden, featuring a main hall, choir section, tower, and a separate family chapel. The building displays Nordic architectural features typical of churches from this era.
Construction began around 1190, and a sacristy was added during the 13th century to expand the building. A major fire in 1856 caused significant damage and led to extensive reconstruction work.
For centuries, this place served as the community's gathering point for celebrations and significant life events. Today that role remains visible in how the grounds are maintained and how people use the space for remembrance and ceremony.
This site is located at Kyrkvägen 5 in Vallentuna Municipality and is easy to reach. Visitors can explore the grounds year-round, and regular services offer insight into how the place is actively used by the community.
A runestone near the church honors Jarlabanke and holds the earliest written record of the Swedish administrative term 'hundare'. This stone shows how early Swedish governance was documented in stone.
