Klosterkyrka

Varnhems klosterkyrka.

En klosterkyrka är, som ordet antyder, den kyrkolokal som tillhör ett kloster. Normalt är kyrkan sammanbyggd med klostret, men den kan också ligga i direkt anslutning till klostret.

Historia

Efter reformationen i Sverige blev många tidigare klosterkyrkor församlingskyrkor inom Svenska kyrkan. Kända svenska klosterkyrkor av detta slag är Nydala, Vadstena, Varnhem, Vreta och Sankt Peter.

The monastic church Varnhem, convenient in the place Varnhem between the cities Skara and Skövde in the Swedish province Västergötland, is the grave church of the medieval king dynasty Eriks (Knut Eriksson and Erik Knutsson, Erik Eriksson) as well as the master father of the Bjälbo dynasty Birger Jarl and realm chancellor Magnus Gabriel de la Gardie. The monastery Varnhem was created 1150 of Cistercians as a daughter of monastery Alvastra, in the Swedish province Östergötland. The monastic church, originally in Roman style built, was heavily damaged in a fire 1234. It became in early gothic style after the model of the churches of Clairvaux (France) and Marienfeld (Germany) rebuilt. In the centre of the 17th century Swedish realm chancellor Magnus visited de la Gardie, whose county Läckö laid not far from Varnhem, the church. It recognized the value of the church as former royal grave church and let it recondition, since it should accommodate its own burial place (and those family).

Between 1918 and 1923 the church was again reconditioned. At the same time the foundation walls of the monastery buildings were excavated. These excavations were taken up to the 1970 years again and are today accessible to the public. Further pieces of find can be visited in the monastery museum beside the church.
