Tyresö Church, Protestant church in Tyresö Municipality, Sweden

Tyresö Church is a red-brick Lutheran church built 1638–1640 by riksdrots Gabriel Oxenstierna as a burial church for the Oxenstierna family and a palace church for nearby Tyresö Palace. The west tower has a low pyramidal roof, a clock face and a black weathervane; the long nave has tall pointed-arch windows with carved sandstone tracery and a small stone portal. The interior floor is laid with red and grey limestone slabs.

The building was completed in 1641 under the direction of statesman Gabriel Oxenstierna, who was buried there on the day of its opening. After a fire in 1790 destroyed the original spire, the current lower pyramid roof was installed.

The church is a popular wedding venue, partly because of its setting near Tyresö Palace with no modern buildings in sight. The cemetery behind the church has Tyresö Castle as its backdrop. King Gustav II Adolf's last rites were held here, one of the earliest and most famous such ceremonies.

The churchyard is enclosed by a wall from 1646; on its outer side are iron rings with farm names, once used to tie up horses during services. The main entrance faces west, with a smaller entrance on the south side. The church stands about a hundred metres north-west of Tyresö Palace, and a parish hall built in 2005–2006 lies some 200 metres west of the church.

Above the sacristy door hangs Gabriel Oxenstierna's epitaph, a gilded wooden piece with three panels showing the Transfiguration, the Ascension and a portrait of Oxenstierna himself. It was taken as war booty from Poland, a detail most visitors walk past.
