Nacka Church was built in 1891. The church was designed by Gustaf Wickman and it is in Gothic Revival style. Despite the church was built in 19th century, the pulpit can dated back to 1600s, which was used in the chapel before the church was built. The pulpit has four sculpted evangelical figures and a Christ figure. Interestingly, there is also a votive ships (Dutch fifty-gun ship model) from the 1500s, which was donated to the township in 1697.
