Nässja kyrka

Vadstena Municipality · Östergötland County

Nässja kyrka is one of the churches in the medieval heartland of western Östergötland that were probably built on the initiative of the magnate families of the area. The church is beautifully situated in an open farming landscape on a long promontory in Lake Vättern, which forms the western shore of Vadstenaviken bay.
