Täby kyrkby

The church is well known for its beautiful and colorful paintings by Albertus Pictor, including a motif of Death playing chess.

Visitors may walk along an ancient path which winds its way through the land south of the priest's house.

A well-known Swedish opera singer, Adolf Lemon, bought land that he sectioned and sold.

In 1950, a new city hall was built in Roslags Näsby, which, has become a more central part of Täby in the twentieth century.

The plans had to be abandoned after only one eight-story apartment was built, because it was discovered that the ground, which used to be the bottom of a lake, was not suitable for large structures.

During the 1960s, several Åsa-Nisse movies, set in the county of Småland in the southern part of Sweden, were filmed in Täby kyrkby.
