Skepptuna Church Municipality of Sigtuna Sweden
Skepptuna Church (Swedish: Skepptuna kyrka) is a medieval Lutheran church in the Archdiocese of Uppsala in Stockholm County, Sweden.
The altarpiece, made in the workshop of Jan Borman
There is evidence in the form of a runestone (rune inscription U 358) that there have been Christian people in the area since at least the early 11th century. The oldest part of the church however dates from the early 13th century. It was continuously expanded throughout the Middle Ages and received its present look during the 15th century. In 1776, the tower spire was found to have started to rot and was exchanged for the present one. Since then the church has remained largely unaltered. A renovation of the church was carried out in 1907, when a number of frescos were also rediscovered and restored.
