Guided tour: Lace in the man-of-war's house and the monastery's textile treasures

Guided tour of Sancta Birgitta Monastery Museum during the lace weeks with a focus on the textile crafts in the 16th and 18th century soldiers' houses, the history of Vadstena lace and a presentation of the unique medieval church textiles in the museum's textile chamber.

The sisters in Vadstena monastery were widely famous for their fantastic embroidery and textile work for the church's altars and priests. In the same premises, it was then through the soldiers' families of the man-of-war house that lace-making began to be established as Vadstena's great craft tradition. Take the opportunity to join a special tour about the textile crafts in the monastery area!
