Utö Kyrka

A beautiful church, very elegant and simple inside and in a wonderful location. No wonder it's popular for weddings.nIt was open when we visited on a Monday in July, and had a lovely welcoming atmosphere.nWorth the detour off the main road.

Utö church is a church building in Utö in Haninge municipality and Södermanland. The church belongs to the Dalarö-Ornö-Utö parish in the Stockholm diocese. It has previously been a parish church in Utö parish.nnUtö church is located in Kyrkviken by the beach towards Mysingen in Stockholm's southern archipelago. The church room is rectangular with the chancel to the east. Behind the choir is a narrower sacristy. In the west rises a tower with a lantern. The church is partly built of wood and the walls are of quarry stone. The neoclassical style is evident, among other things, from the narrow, decorative ceiling moldings. The roofs are covered with copper sheet, both the tower's versatile lantern and the church room's gable roof, as well as the sacristy's pitched roof. The main entrance in the west wall of the tower leads into the armory. The pews are closed and the organ has its place on a stand in the west.nnBy the water there is a memorial grove where you can sit in peace and quiet and look out over Mysingen, an inner bay of the Baltic Sea.

Nice stone church in the Stockholm archipelago, we got married here.nnIf you feel like a bite to eat afterwards, there is a place that is suitable in this context, but then you have to take the boat some distance to Båtshaket an oasis of charm with rights.

Nice old church
