Vårfrukyrkan, Enköping, Medieval church in Enköping, Sweden

Vårfrukyrkan is a stone church in Enköping with a longhouse plan, transepts, and a three-sided apse, to which a central tower was added in the 19th century. The building combines medieval foundations with additions made over centuries that shape its current appearance.

Built in the 12th century as a large Romanesque grey-stone church, it served the provost of Fjärdhundraland and later the parish of Vårfrukyrka. In 1548 it also became Enköping's town church. The main changes came in the 1400s: star vaults in the nave and transepts, a new three-sided choir, and the removal of the central tower, which was rebuilt in the mid-1800s.

The parish church of Vårfrukyrka also served as Enköping's town church from 1548. Its name refers to Our Lady, and the medieval wall paintings were supplemented in 1903–04 by works drawn by Agi Lindegren and executed by Carl Wilhelm Pettersson.

The interior is accessible most days, though opening hours may vary by season. Visitors should check ahead to confirm the building is open, as it may occasionally close for events.

The north transept holds a 13th-century Christ figure that once belonged to a triumphal crucifix; the cross and the left arm are now lost. A 14th-century carved face of Christ is also kept in the church, alongside fragments of a late-15th-century baptismal font.
