Fresta Church, Medieval Lutheran church in Upplands Väsby Municipality, Sweden

Fresta Church is a fieldstone church in Upplands Väsby, north of Lake Norrviken. Its oldest parts, the vestry and inner choir walls, date from the first half of the 13th century; the nave followed later that century. A 1776 rebuilding added the west tower, lowered the roof to a broken pitch and widened the windows. Inside, brick cross vaults from the 14th and 15th centuries cover the nave and choir.

The vestry and the inner walls of the choir were built in the first half of the 13th century, possibly for an earlier wooden church. The present nave replaced it later in the same century, and a south porch was added in the 15th century. In 1776 the porch was demolished, the nave received a steep roof, the windows were widened and a tower was built.

The medieval wall paintings, made by the Strängnäs school around 1460, show apostles above consecration crosses; they were whitewashed in 1776 and uncovered again in 1934. On the south wall hangs a carved altarpiece made in northern Germany around 1470, showing the Holy Family and relatives.

The church holds regular Lutheran services and welcomes visitors who wish to view the building and its interior furnishings. Access is generally straightforward, and guests should wear respectful clothing and be mindful of any ongoing worship.

Fifteen runestones surround the grounds, including one of the Jarlabanke Runestones, revealing a connection to pre-Christian Nordic history. These ancient stones suggest this site held importance long before the church was constructed.
