This was my first time in Linköping and I stayed the bed and breakfast in Gamla linköping and I was nog disappointed. The whole area with its small shops, preserved buildings from a long lost time was wonderful just to wander around in and enjoy. Loved the mini-museums as well. Will definitly return to Linköping just for this place

The church and monastery were at the time of our visit, very quiet, at a peaceful lake. The story of Saint Birgitta is very interesting. There are several nice sculptures representing her, one in ecstasy, another more realistic. The church also had fine altarpieces. The town itself is well worth a visit too, with wooden houses and a castle as a bonus.
3. Linkoping Cathedral
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 304 reviews
For almost 800 years people have been coming to worship and pray at Linköping Cathedral. Work on the Cathedral was started in 1230, with the main building works being completed in 1520. The belfry and the west façade were added in 1885. Linköping Cathedral is the most impressive and expensive Swedish church building of the Middle Ages. Within the church you can see evidence of almost 800 years in which master craftsmen have expressed their faith in wood and stone

Beautiful architecture and a most peaceful of places, where you can saunter around quietly admiring the wooden carvings...ceilings and magical floors. You have to be respectful here...and it's a gem of a place about where you would not expect to see it. Free to enter but please donate.

Probably one of the coolest compounds I've seen in person. There's enough left to envision what it used to look like. It's very old and has a long history. The giant Hall where the iconic church window was is unreal to stand in. If you're into old buildings...
