Description

Vadstena, Sweden. April 2012

This is a nearby town, that has kept much of it's medieval design and buildings in the center of the town.

The tower to the left - The Blue Tower - belongs to the old Vadstena Abbey church from 1430, founded by Saint Bridget, now serving as a museum.
The one to the right - The Red Tower - is the old belltower of S:t Per's church, founded in the 1300s.
The Abbey church has no bells, and that's why the Red Tower is still there, while the rest of it was torn down in 1829. The rest of the building was built around 1831, as a school.

the Towers of Vadstena ~ is an awesome reminder of the great architecture and soothing atmosphere of the buildings of yesteryear. It is so good that this, as well as many other old time buildings are preserved. Great piece of photography.
