The monks of the Dominican Order received land in Sigtuna in 1237 and built St. Mary's Church (probably around 1240). The convent prospered and became an educational centre until it lost importance in the late Middle Ages. It was dissolved in 1527 during the Reformation. Unlike other old churches in Sigtuna (St. Per, St. Olof, St. Lars and St. Nikolai), of which only ruins remain, the monastery church was preserved while the monastery buildings were demolished. The church became the parish.
