If the 3 church ruins in Sigtuna & one site of former ruin this is the most impressive.nThere is a translation plaque for a runestone at the fence beside the road, but I couldn’t find the actual stone with runes.
Pretty cool that it's still standing 900 years later! We love Ruins and architectural design! And, architectural wonders that have stood the test of time!
There is not much to see, but definitely worth the visit as part of the city tour.
The ruins of St. Olof's Church are located right in front of the Sigtuna beach.nAnd there is a parking lot next to the premises of the ruins. Passing through the cemetery and St. Mary's Church, we reached the back side of the ruins.nThis ancient ruin is spectacular and well worth visiting. Because of its excellent preservation, you can now independently explore the ruin.nThere are informative signs at the ruin that provide more information about the church.
St. Olaf's ruins is located at 5 mins walk from Sigtuna bus station. Its a very old structure that speaks of centuries old history. Excavations around this place suggest the existence of even older structure that goes before 12th century. The Church is surrounded by a grave yard and generally the gates of the ruins are locked so tourists cannot enter but its definitely well preserved.
