In the centuries that followed, it was extended in all directions, so today it is one of Uppland's largest and grandest rural churches and is sometimes called \"Tr\u00f6gden's cathedral\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Veckholm Church is strongly influenced by its proximity to the Ekholmen estate, which was owned by the de la Gardie family for a long time. They had a hand in whatever happened to the church, and it was also the family's burial church. A separate burial choir, designed by Nicodemus Tessin the Elder, began to be built in the 1670s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The beautiful altarpiece was made in Brussels in the early 16th century. The crucifix hanging above the altar cabinet, on the other hand, is Swedish and from the latter part of the 15th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter
