Welcome to Vreta Kloster and Friends of the

former Vreta Abbey

The aim of the association is to tell about the medieval church and abbey and illustrate their history for people in the region and others interested, so that future generations can find information about life in the abbey.

The association has its base in the former Fattigstugan (poorhouse). This is where we gather for our meetings and study groups. We offer regular guided tours during the summer, and group tours can be offered all year around upon request.

Vreta Kloster is beautifully situated on top of a hill overlooking the plain, close to lake Roxen and Göta kanal, see: gotakanal.se

The church is a living protestant parish church and usually open for visitors between 8.00 – 21.00.

During the summer there is a café in one of the old buildings.

Guided visits can be booked through the parish office, the cost is 60 SEK per person.
