There's a mystery about history and you can sense everything that might have happened there once upon a time. It's like you're in a film or another world when you think about how things used to be. Here are 25 church ruins in Sweden. Many of them we have seen ourselves, but we also have some left that we plan to see in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peter-St-Olovs.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peter-St-Olovs-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-135730\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peter-St-Olovs-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peter-St-Olovs-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peter-St-Olovs-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peter-St-Olovs-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peter-St-Olovs-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peter-St-Olovs.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Peter photographs St Olav's church ruin in Sigtuna.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-sankt-olofs-kyrkoruin-i-sigtuna\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Sankt_Olofs_kyrkoruin_i_Sigtuna\"><\/span>1.

Several excavations have been carried out here because of curiosity about the church's unusual architecture. The chancel is larger and longer than the nave, indicating that there was probably a plan to build an equally powerful nave, but for some reason the construction stopped. <\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-i-blogginlagg freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-3306625625\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-slider-88752\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-2313916749 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-379631058\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ullbadden.se\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-224x60.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-18x5.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-433x116.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-3526161405\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/se.sun-living.com\/vans\/v-serien\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" aria-label=\"New Sunlife\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Nya-Sunliv.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider2313916749 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-2313916749\" );$freedslider2313916749.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" ); });$freedslider2313916749.unslider({ delay:4000, autoplay:true, nav:false, arrows:false, infinite:true });$freedslider2313916749.on(\"mouseover\", function() {$freedslider2313916749.unslider(\"stop\");}).on(\"mouseout\", function() {$freedslider2313916749.unslider(\"start\");});});<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sigtuna-ruin-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sigtuna-ruin-1-1024x596.jpg\" alt=\"Kyrkoruiner i Sverige\" class=\"wp-image-146688\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sigtuna-ruin-1-1024x596.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sigtuna-ruin-1-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sigtuna-ruin-1-768x447.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sigtuna-ruin-1-433x252.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sigtuna-ruin-1-600x350.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sigtuna-ruin-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The excavations have also shown that the church ruin you see today rests on an even older building, which is perhaps the very oldest stone church in Sweden.

It is also thought that this church may have been the cathedral of the archdiocese before the move to Gamla Uppsala in 1190. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5134.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5134-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Kyrkoruiner i Sverige\" class=\"wp-image-146698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5134-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5134-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5134-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5134-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5134-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5134.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When King Erik Segers\u00e4ll founded Sigtuna in the 980s, it was to create a kingdom inspired by the kingdoms of southern Europe. At this time, the royal power was struggling to strengthen the kingdom and its role as head of the church. To achieve this goal, it was therefore important to cooperate with the church and create a Christian city. <\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-stora-banner freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-745934285\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-907616762\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/firstcamp.se\/bra-att-veta\/incheckning-efter-stangning?utm_source=display&#038;utm_medium=Freedom-Travel&#038;utm_campaign=Freedom-Travel-sommar-2026\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Dropin_freedom_travel_588x280_SE_final\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dropin_freedom_travel_588x280_SE_final.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dropin_freedom_travel_588x280_SE_final.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dropin_freedom_travel_588x280_SE_final-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dropin_freedom_travel_588x280_SE_final-224x107.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dropin_freedom_travel_588x280_SE_final-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dropin_freedom_travel_588x280_SE_final-433x206.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"280\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5125.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5125-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Kyrkoruiner i Sverige\" class=\"wp-image-146696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5125-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5125-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5125-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5125-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5125-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5125.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a portal high up in the fa\u00e7ade of the central tower facing the nave.

In the 16th century, the nave was extended and a porch was added.

The buildings that were no longer needed were left to decay. In the 18th century, County Governor Johan Didrik Gr\u00f6nhage built a new manor house using stone from the ruins.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the Second World War, the site was used for military purposes.

The church could be used both for worship and as a shelter for the population, which is why it had very few windows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-9.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-9-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Kyrkoruiner i Sverige\" class=\"wp-image-146750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-9-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-9-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-9-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-9-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-9-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-9.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An island rune stone tells us that the population was Christianised at the end of the 11th century, and many pilgrims passed through here.

Here there was a large limestone cross as a sign of the market freedom guaranteed by the bishop of Link\u00f6ping. Under the protection of the cross, the merchants could trade in safety and, of course, the bishop would tax the shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cross stood in the same place as today 800 years later, but in a small square.
