Börstil Church is a spacious neoclassical hall church with a tall, sturdy tower. Because of its size, it's also colloquially known as the cathedral of Roslagen. In the chancel there is an altarpiece from 1737 by Olof Gerdman, and in the chancel vault there are still partial lime paintings from the Middle Ages.

The church was built in the latter half of the 1400s from granite in various shades of colour and is today in unchanged condition. There are signs suggesting that a church existed on the site as early as the 1200s.
