Attractions

Church in Vallentuna

The medieval stone church of Vallentuna was built towards the end of the 12th century. The church burned down after a lightning strike in 1856, but was quickly rebuilt. The church bells hung in a separate, wooden bell tower until 1832. They melted in the fire in 1856, but new bells could be cast from the bronze in 1857. In the church there is an organ with 22 registers from 1959. In 2002 a choir organ with 15 registers was also inaugurated. The two organs are electronically linked so that all registers of both organs can be played by the manuals / pedals of one of the two organs. The altar cross from the 1760s, which survived the fire, is worth seeing.
