One of the places worth a little detour to see is the Varnhem Abbey and it's surroundings. Whilst the cistercian abbey is long gone and only ruins are there to see, the church still stands as a beautiful mark from a time long gone. Besides the beautiful architecture there are several Swedish kings buried here, the monks build the church with acoustic in mind so make sure you stay for a service. There is a museum at the back of the ruins about the abbey and on the hill above there is a museum about the beginning of Swedish Christianity during the Viking age. There is plenty to see and learn but there is also a lot of restaurants and coffee shops around. Finally it is also a part of the pilgrimage network in Sweden should you want to do a walk.

Known from the film Arn. It is interesting if you like religious buildings and ruins. On this day it was closed but in summer it is open and even has fila outside. There is also a small museum at the back.
Beautiful old monastery in nice surrounding near Lake Hornborga. Free entrance and free parking.
