Edsbro Church (Swedish: Edsbro kyrka) is a medieval church in Edsbro, Stockholm County, Sweden. It belongs to the Church of Sweden.
History and architecture
The oldest part of the church is the nave, which was built in fieldstone during the 13th century. The sacristy was added during the 14th century and the choir was enlarged, with added details in Brick Gothic style, during the 15th century. Unusually, the church has preserved its northern wall without windows. Most medieval churches in the area originally lacked windows in their northern façade, but normally windows were opened during the subsequent centuries. The interior is decorated with frescos added in the 17th century. They were paid for by the Lilliesparre family, owner of nearby Kragsta Manor. Among the church fittings, the baptismal font is medieval.
