Överselö church is a medieval church on Selaön island. The church was built in the XIII century in the Romanesque style. The church is decorated with numerous pictures from the XV century made by various artists from the Mälaren. It hosts, among other, the cherished Överselö Madonna crafted in oak by a sculptor from Gotland.
The closest place to access the church is Stallarholmen, which has a very small guest pier just on the east of the opening bridge.
