Täby church was built in the last part of 13th century. It was constructed as a hall church. The north wall had no windows and and the windows in the south wall were small and placed in the upper part of the wall. The ceiling was either flat or had a barrel vault. After a fire in the middle of 15th century the church was vaulted with four vaults. They were painted by Albertus Pictor. As the vaults never were whitewashed the paintings are in extremely good condition. The image program is strongly influenced by Biblia Pauperum.
The porch was constructed i the middle of the 15th century and was painted by the Tierp workshop.
