New photos from this place: Alvastra 2012
The old Alvastra Abbey, at the foot of Omberg, Östergötland, Sweden. April 2009
Founded in 1143, by french monks, it was the first cistercian abbey in Scandinavia.
It was torn down during the protestant reformation in about 1530. The stones from the abbey has been used in the building of several castles in and close to the area.
Today, there is a modern abbey just a few kilometers from here.

Intressant! Jag har läst av Alvastra i några historiska romaner. Finska författaren Kaari Utrio har skrivit mycket om skandinavisk historia och hon nämnar också Alvastra kloster i sin produktion, om jag minns inte fel. Jag är också inte religiös, men det skulle vara mycket intressant att besöka de här ruinerna, eftersom dom har en ganska stor historisk betydelse.
