Fors kyrka, Medieval church in Eskilstuna, Sweden.

The stone structure stands along the western bank of Eskilstuna River, featuring a fifty-meter tower and three-part choir with cross-arms.

English monk Saint Eskil established the church in the mid-11th century, with portions of the original Romanesque northern and western walls still visible.

The church contains a collection of 13th-century sculptures, including a seated bishop figure and baroque altar pieces with carved representations.

Located at Kyrkogatan 16, the church welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday, offering different time slots each day for exploration.

The tower, constructed in the early 15th century, functioned as both a defensive structure and lookout point against river-based intruders.
