Saint Lars Church Ruins

Sigtuna was a Christian town from the start. A bishopric was established in the middle of the 10th century. This ceased after approximately a hundred years in connection with the establishment of the archbishopric in Gamla Uppsala. During the early Middle Ages, no fewer than six or seven powerful stone churches with accompanying churchyards were built in Sigtuna. All but one, the cathedral, lay behind the oldest settlement area and along a slightly later established street parallel to the Great Street. Only parts of St. Lars church can be seen today. A tower that was renovated at the end of the 16th century by Johan III. From archaeological excavations, we know that the church was a large graystone church, possibly built during the 12th century.
