Markuskyrkan i Björkhagen: Markuskyrkan stands amid a sea of birch trees by one of the entrances to the Nacka Nature Reserve in Björkhagen.

The church is a unique building designed by the architect Sigurd Lewerentz. His signature is found throughout the church: in the choice of bricks from Helsingborgs Ångtegelbruk, in the pine pews with sheepskin on the kneelers, and lingering around the beautiful brass lamps. Do not miss the chance to visit the church during a bell ringing, which is still done by hand by our bell-ringing teams!
