Fresta Church, Medieval Lutheran church in Upplands Väsby Municipality, Sweden
The stone church features medieval walls, a clock tower added in 1776, and enlarged windows that illuminate its interior worship space.
Construction of Fresta Church began in the 14th century, with the vestry and choir walls representing the earliest architectural elements.
The church walls display 15th-century frescoes depicting apostles, while a northern German altarpiece from 1480 shows the Holy Family.
The church maintains regular Lutheran services and welcomes visitors who can examine its 13th-century baptismal font and triumphal cross.
Fifteen runestones surround the church grounds, including one of the Jarlabanke Runestones, marking its connection to ancient Nordic history.
