Alvastra as it looked in Suecia antiqua et hodierna, around 1700.
Alvastra is a small village in Ödeshög Municipality in eastern Sweden. It is known for being the seat of the Cistercian Alvastra Abbey in the Middle Ages, established in 1143 by French monks.[1] After the Swedish Lutheran reformation in the 1530s, the monastery was demolished, never to be rebuilt.
The Alvastra monastery ruin is today well preserved and popular place to visit.
