Alsike Church
Alsike Church ( sv, Alsike kyrka) is a Lutheran church at Alsike in Uppsala County, Sweden. It lies in Knivsta Municipality, a suburb to Stockholm. The church is associated with the Archdiocese of Uppsala of the Church of Sweden. History and architecture Alsike Church stands by a formerly important sea-route linking Uppsala, Sigtuna and Stockholm, in an area characterised by its old cultural landscape. Although the oldest parts of the presently visible church date from the 13th century, it was probably pre-dated by an earlier wooden church. The church is constructed largely in brick, a material not usually used in medieval churches in Uppland ( fieldstone was often the material of choice). The use of brick may be explained by the vicinity to the more costly churches in Sigtuna or Sko Abbey near Skokloster Castle (''Skoklosters slott''). The main part of the church was probably built circa 1250-1350. The tower and the church porch date from the 15th century, and during the sa ...

Sigtuna
Sigtuna () is a locality situated in Sigtuna Municipality, Stockholm County, Sweden with 8,444 inhabitants in 2010. It is the namesake of the municipality even though the seat is in Märsta.

Rosersberg Palace
Rosersberg Palace ( sv, Rosersbergs slott) is one of the Royal Palaces of Sweden. Situated on the shores of Lake Mälaren, on the outskirts of Stockholm, it was built in the 1630s by the Oxenstierna family and became a royal palace in 1762, when the state gave it to Duke Karl (later Karl XIII), the younger brother of Gustav III of Sweden. History Gabriel Bengtsson Oxenstierna named the palace after his mother, who came from the prestigious Tre Rosor ("Three Roses") family. Construction of the building in the typical Renaissance style of the time started in 1634 and was completed in 1638. In the late 17th century, the Renaissance style was out of fashion and Oxenstierna's son, Bengt Oxenstierna, had it radically modernised in the then current Rococo style under the architect Nicodemus Tessin the Younger. The gables of the main building were demolished and the building was given a new roof. New wings and colonnaded gallery were added. In 1747, Rosersberg was acquired by Bar ...

Ed Church, Uppland
Ed Church ( sv, Eds kyrka) is a Lutheran church about 3 km southwest of the centre of Upplands Väsby, Stockholm County, Sweden. It belongs to the Diocese of Stockholm. It is a listed building, protected by law. History and architecture Construction of the church started in the 12th century, and it was expanded during the 14th and 15th centuries.

The reconstruction was supported by Charles De Geer, who also supported reconstruction works at nearby Hammarby and Fresta churches. The external similarities between Fresta and Ed churches are striking. A renovation was made in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
