Örjans Vall och S:t Örjans Kloster

Where Örjans Vall is today, there was a Dominican monastery with the chapel of St. Örjan in the 13th century. When the city moved, the Dominicans followed and built St. Catherine's Monastery south of the current Klammerdammsgatan. When they moved, St. Örjan's Chapel was left intact and later became a hospital. In July 1922, the Örjans Vall sports ground was inaugurated by the then Crown Prince Gustav Adolf. In 1958, two World Cup group matches were played here, Northern Ireland-Czechoslovakia (1-0) and Argentina-Northern Ireland (3-1). Örjans Vall is considered one of Sweden's most beautiful football stadiums.
