Spånga Church

Baron Gustaf Bonde (1620–1667), owner of the nearby Hässelby Palace, made considerable donations to the church.

After his death a chancel tomb, designed by the architect Nicodemus Tessin the Elder, was added onto the church, in which he and his descendants are buried.

In the late 15th century the triumphal arch was set up, as well as a new choir, and paintings from this period are of a different style, with motives from both the Old and New Testament, as well as later saints.

In the 1950s the walls underwent a new restoration, which aimed to bring forth some of the original medieval paintings that had been covered 160 years earlier.

This classification is used for those inscriptions where the runic text band ends are straight and do not have any attached serpent or animal heads.
