Norrköping jungfrustift

Norrköping adliga jungfrustift was a Swedish foundation to the support of unmarried female nobles. It functioned as a Stift or Protestant convent for unmarried female nobles from 1783 to 1796, situated in the city of Norrköping. Though formally a branch of the Vadstena adliga jungfrustift, it was in fact the only stift active in Sweden. The stift was dissolved by the foundation because of its bad economy in 1796, but the abbess and the other members were given a pension from the foundation.
