Roslags-Bro Church

When Roslags-Bro church was built in the 13th century it was located by a once important sea-route which has since disappeared as a consequence of post-glacial rebound.

[1] During the 18th century the windows of the church were enlarged to their present size and an external wooden bell tower erected.

Two free-standing burial chapels were added close to the church in the cemetery, and one attached to the western gable[4] by Vendela Magnona Fleming for her and her husband, Duke Carl Gabrielsson Oxenstierna.

[2] Externally the church retains much of its original look, characterised by roughly hewn stones and high Gothic gables, save the strikingly different Fleming-Oxenstierna burial chapel.

Before they arrive again on Easter Sunday the priest removes the statue and so illustrates Christ has risen from the dead.
