Skepptuna Church

The church structure combines roughly hewn stone blocks with brick additions, featuring a Brick Gothic tower influenced by Uppsala Cathedral's design pattern.

The oldest section of the church dates to 1201, with continuous expansions throughout the Middle Ages until reaching its final form in the 15th century.

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

Located at coordinates 59°42'32"N and 18°5'35"E, the church maintains its original structure since the 1776 tower spire replacement.

A medieval wooden sculpture of Thomas Becket by Bernt Notke, formerly housed in this church, is now displayed at the Swedish History Museum.
