Vadstena Castle was originally built by King Gustav I in 1545 as a fortress to protect Stockholm from enemies approaching from the south. The fortress consisted of three smaller stone buildings facing Lake Vättern, three 31-meter wide ramparts, a courtyard, a moat and four circular cannon turrets.
The monastery was consecrated in 1384 and the church in 1430. In connection with the Reformation in the 16th century, all monasteries in Sweden were closed. In the mid 17th century, the monastery buildings were rebuilt for the Veteran's Home (Krigsmanshus), a home for war invalids and their families.
