Sankt Lars kyrkoruin, Medieval church ruin in Sigtuna Municipality, Sweden

The Sankt Lars kyrkoruin stands along Prästgatan in Sigtuna, with only the western tower section remaining visible above the ground level today.

Built during the Christianization of Sweden in the 1100s, the church functioned until the Reformation and later served as a school before a fire in 1658.

The site reflects the religious transformation of medieval Sigtuna, which contained seven churches before Stockholm gained prominence as the main regional center.

The archaeological remains of Sankt Lars kyrkoruin are accessible to visitors interested in exploring the medieval religious architecture of Sigtuna Municipality.

Among all church ruins in Sigtuna, Sankt Lars kyrkoruin maintains the smallest amount of preserved structural elements from its original construction.
