Jäder Church

The church features a western nave, eastern choir, northern sacristy, southern burial chapel, church porch, and western tower with Neo-Renaissance spire.

Built in the 12th century, the church underwent major modifications during the mid-17th century under Lord High Chancellor Axel Oxenstierna's patronage.

The church maintains its position as a subsidiary parish church within Kafjärden Parish, serving the Diocese of Strängnäs through regular Lutheran services.

Located 10 kilometers east of Eskilstuna, the church complex includes a cemetery and remains open for religious ceremonies and guided visits.

The altarpiece, made in Brussels and painted by Jan van Coninxlo the Younger, stands among the finest examples of late Gothic art in Sweden.
