Welcome to Ballivat Saint Peter
Ballivat Saint Peter is under the Priory of Sweden which in turn is under the Grand Priory of Scandinavia.
Ballivat Saint Peter operates in southern Sweden in the area of southern Halland, southern Småland, Blekinge and Skåne. In the area, there are over 50 Knights of the Knights Templar who do good and right!
Ballivat Saint Peter is led by a convention that holds regular convention meetings and annually holds the Grand Chapter (annual meeting). Ballivat Saint Peter is headquartered in Lund, which is among the oldest cities in Scandinavia. Ballivat Saint Peter has the Monastery Church (the parish of St. Peter's Monastery) as the base for its activities.
The monastery church, which was founded in 1164, has connections to the Knights Templar as Archbishop Eskil, who worked in Lund, had strong friendships with Abbot Sankt Bernard of Clairvaux, who was the most prominent person in the church at the time and who, among other things, founded 163 Cistercian monasteries around Europe. Saint Bernard of Clairvaux wrote the Regula (rules) of the Knights Templar and advocated for the Knights Templar to be officially recognized as a military and religious order.
