Skokloster church

The first mention of the church dates from the 1200s'. It was originally built for Cistercian nuns. The church underwent numerous modifications over the centuries. In the 17th century it became Wrangel’s castle church and the entire Wrangel family are buried in the chapel. Services are now held throughout the year and there are also occasional concerts. The church is a popular wedding venue. It is nowadays one of the important brick churches in the Mälaren and the second in size in Sweden.

The bell tower was constructed in 1639.
