Alsike monastery, Religious monastery in Knivsta Municipality, Sweden.
The monastery resides in a converted schoolhouse adjacent to the parish church, twenty kilometers south of Uppsala in central Sweden.
The Sisters of the Holy Spirit established their presence in Alsike during 1964, transforming a former schoolhouse into their monastic residence.
The monastery functions as the official Sanctuary of the diocese, providing support and assistance to refugees since 1978.
The monastery maintains connections with both the Swedish Church and the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Kenya, fostering international religious exchanges.
The monastic community develops plans for a dedicated village to support refugee children and students while advancing their religious mission.
