Sigtunastiftelsen

The Sigtuna Foundation consists of multiple buildings featuring stone rubble walls, granite pillars, and clay tile roofs across elevated terrain.

Manfred Björkquist established the Sigtuna Foundation in 1915 as a center for the youth church movement, with architect John Åkerlund leading the design.

The foundation incorporates design elements from Italian monasteries and Swedish castles, emphasizing connections between religious traditions and national architecture.

The complex includes guest accommodations, a chapel, and a library built in 1935, serving as a residence for creative professionals and scholars.

The buildings follow irregular wall placements that integrate with the natural landscape, creating varied visual perspectives throughout the property.
