Alsike Church

Alsike Church stands by a formerly important sea-route linking Uppsala, Sigtuna and Stockholm, in an area characterised by its old cultural landscape.

The tower and the church porch date from the 15th century, and during the same century the church was also equipped with mural-decorated vaults; due to later damage these have been rebuilt and only fragments of the murals still remain.

In 1910-11, the church was redecorated internally with paintings in Art Nouveau style by architect Sigurd Curman (1879-1966).

[2][4] The church is characterised by a mix of medieval and neoclassical styles as a result of the reconstruction during the 19th century.

Among the furnishings, a Venetian crucifix from c. 1600 and a figure of Christ from the 15th century are noteworthy.
