Vallentuna church, Medieval church in Vallentuna, Sweden.
The granite and brick church features a nave, choir, tower, and a family chapel with traditional Nordic architectural elements.
Built around 1190, the church underwent modifications including a sacristy addition in the 13th century and experienced reconstruction after an 1856 fire.
The church walls contain ancient runic inscriptions carved by stone-cutters, including names from the initial construction period of the late 12th century.
Located at Kyrkvägen 5 in Vallentuna Municipality, the church maintains regular services and welcomes visitors throughout the year.
A runestone near the church commemorates Jarlabanke, containing the earliest written evidence of the administrative term 'hundare' in Swedish history.
