86. A Trip to Medieval Östergötland

86. A Trip to Medieval Östergötland

We're on the road again! We thought we had maybe neglected Östergötland a little, considering its importance to the story of Sweden, so during the summer we headed south and went on a bit of a trip.

We visited Linköping castle and cathedral, Vadstena Abbey and the island of Visingsö with its castles and woods. Taking our microphone for a ride, we look at these historical places and the important roles they've played in the story so far.

A special thanks to everyone at the Vadstena Abbey and Monastery Museum for showing us around their great museum and even more thanks to Linn for singing for us during the visit!

As always you can check out our website www.aflatpackhistoryofsweden.com and find us on Facebook and Twitter (X).
