Bosjökloster, Medieval monastery and castle in Höör Municipality, Sweden.

The castle and monastery complex stands on a peninsula by Lake Ringsjön, featuring medieval vaults, terraced gardens, and perennial flower beds.

Founded as a Benedictine nunnery in 1080, the monastery transformed into a castle during the 16th century after the Danish Reformation.

The oak doors at the entrance display carved initials of Thale Ulfstand and the year 1569, marking a transition in the building's ownership.

The park remains open daily from 9 AM to 6 PM during winter, while exhibitions and the Garden Café operate from May through the main season.

Visitors can explore the medieval vaults once used by nuns and rent rowboats to discover the surrounding Lake Ringsjön.
