Täby Church

In the mid-14th century a vestry was added and about 100 years later the church porch was built.

[3] The church is decorated with mural paintings by Albertus Pictor, one of Sweden's preeminent medieval painters, who died in 1511.

They include a picture of a man playing chess with Death, a motif that inspired Ingmar Bergman to a famous scene in the movie The Seventh Seal.

[3] The main inspiration for the paintings was Biblia Pauperum, a collection of events from the Holy Bible.

[2] The altarpiece from the 1470s depicts the Golgotha scene and is flanked by a sculpture of St. Olof.
