SkÄnes första kloster byggdes pÄ 1070-talet i Lund. Benediktinermunkklostret Allhelgonaklostret

Som vi har berĂ€ttat i tidigare inlĂ€gg sĂ„ bildades det troligen nĂ„got slags klosterverksamhet i Lund redan nĂ„gon gĂ„ng omkring Ă„r 1030 i den byggnad som fanns dĂ€r Lunds domkyrka byggdes senare. Det var dĂ„ troligen ett kaniksamfund som var föregĂ„ngare till Den helige Laurentius gemenskap vid Lunds domkyrka. Även i Dalby bildades det ett kaniksamfund med augustinkaniker efter att Dalbys och Lunds stift slagits samman omkring Ă„r 1066 med Dalbys biskop Egino som biskop och Drotten i Lund som hans biskopskyrka. Men pĂ„ 1070-talet stiftades det som kom att bli Lunds och hela SkĂ„nes första riktiga kloster med munkar som levde tillsammans.
Allhelgonaklostret som det kallades, byggdes pÄ det som numera brukar kallas för Helgonabacken som man ser i den första bilden nedan och dÀr finns numera Universitetsbiblioteket, Lunds universitet.

Klostret Àr fortfarande ganska dÄligt arkeologiskt undersökt men kartan i nÀsta bild nedan visar ungefÀr var man tror att klosterlÀngorna fanns med den stora klosterkyrkan i norr. Klosterkyrkan var omkring 50 meter lÄng och hade troligen ett torn i vÀster och en krypta under koret. LÄnghuset var treskeppigt och sidoskeppen fortsatte runt den halvrunda absiden.

The most fascinating details of spring in Lund are, undoubtedly, magnolia flowers on the University Square. It starts to bud in April and up to the mid May you will enjoy the fantastic view!
