During the reformation in the 16th Century Gustav Vasa gave the church to the people of Arboga and its new purpose was to be the town hall.

The Church of the Holy Trinity

The Church of the Holy Trinity Work on the first church buildings was begun in the 13th Century the earliest plans were of a monastery for an order of Franciscan monks which had settled in Arboga. Early in the 16th Century Gustav Vasa broke with the Roman Catholic Church and the monastery was opened as a church for the people of Arboga.
During renovations in the 17th Century a church tower was added to the building. Among the artifacts of the church is the pulpit from 1736, beautifully carved by the royal sculptor Buchard Precht. The light fittings in brass are believed to be the largest in Sweden, possibly the whole of Scandinavia. 13th Century murals are displayed on the south wall, including a depiction of the life of Saint Francis.
