The old monastery church of Varnhem, Sweden.
Family grave of Birger Jarl of Sweden (1200-1266)
Birger was a statesman and one of the leading political figures in the 13th century Sweden. He was given a title “Duke of Sweden” in 1248 a rank he held until he died 18 years later. When king Eric died in 1250 Birger also became de facto ruler of the country acting as a regent for his own son Valdemar (b. 1239)
Birger Jarl has been attributed to be a founder of Stockholm and according to tradition he was also a leader of second crusade to Finland (my country).
Sculptures depict Birger, his son Duke Eric (1250-1275) and second wife Dowager Queen Matilda of Denmark (1225-1228)

Varnhem Monastery was founded in 1150 by French monks of the Cistercian Order. A stone church was erected on the site before the monastery was built. The stone church was erected in 1040s and is the oldest stone church in Sweden excluding Skåne. © Karl Hedman 2019 #varnhem #varnhemmonasterychurch #varnhemsklosterkyrka #västergötland #sweden #monastery #church #monchs #munk #hedmankarl https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Z9TT5inK2/?igshid=tzu4tqg3ape5
