Skepptuna Church, Medieval Lutheran church in Sigtuna Municipality, Sweden

Skepptuna Church is a house of worship in Sigtuna built from roughly hewn stone blocks with brick extensions and a distinctive tower designed in the Brick Gothic style. The structure displays multiple construction phases, with walls and architectural details that reflect different periods of medieval building practices in the region.

The earliest sections were built in the early 13th century, followed by several phases of expansion and modification extending into the 15th century. The tower underwent significant renewal work in 1776 while retaining its basic Gothic form.

The church interior contains an altarpiece created in the workshop of Flemish sculptor Jan Borman, who operated between 1479 and 1520.

The church is accessible by road and located at a well-known position in the area. Visitors can find information on-site about opening times and any special events or services taking place.

A medieval wooden carving of Saint Thomas Becket once kept within these walls now resides at the Swedish History Museum. The sculpture was crafted by the renowned artist Bernt Notke.
