Värmdö Church

The stone church exhibits high walls covered by a tiled roof, with its cross-shaped design incorporating both north and south grave chapels under one structure.

Built in the 1300s, Värmdö Church remains Stockholm archipelago's oldest medieval church, with additions of the vestry and porch constructed during the 1430s.

The church maintains a collection of medieval wooden sculptures and contains memorials dedicated to prominent families including Fleming, Bagge, and Snakenborg.

The church functions under Svenska kyrkan management and requires advance reservations for ceremonies such as weddings and religious services throughout the year.

Until the 19th century, the church served communities across 16 fjords, with a bay extending directly to the building for boat access from surrounding islands.
