St. Mary’s church – The magnificent building of Dominician friars

Dominican friars built the first brick church, Mariakyrkan – St. Mary’s, in the mid-13th century, making it one of the oldest brick buildings in the Lake Mälaren valley. St Mary’s church was part of the friary until the Protestant Reformation and dissolution of the monasteries in the early 16th century. It is still the parish church of Sigtuna today.
