Ytterenhörna kyrka dates back to the 12th century. A runestone stands in front of it; at the entrance to its churchyard are two carved stone slabs with rock carvings known as Tunahällarna. Överenhörna kyrka was built around the year 1200 and was originally a manorial church belonging to the royal estate Husby, now called Ekensbergs säteri.
