Black Friars' Monastery of Stockholm

Local nameSvartbrödraklostret i Stockholm
LocationGamla stan, Stockholms kommun, Sweden

The Black Friars' Monastery, Svartbrödraklostret, also called the convent of Stockholm, was a Dominican monastery on the island of Stadsholmen in central Stockholm, founded by King Magnus IV in 1336 when he donated a plot of land located in the southern part of Stadsholmen to the Black Friars. By order of Gustav Vasa the monastery was demolished in 1547, but some of the vaults are still preserved and can be visited. Today Svartmangatan, which led down to the monastery, is still reminiscent of the Black Friars' era.
