JULITA
- a parish in the West Sörmland Region
We know for sure that people
have lived in the Julita area for more than
5-6000 years. They arrived here immediate after
the end of the last glaciation, in the
"Littorina Sea" era - to the "Water-world
of Julita".
There are a lot of
archeological findings from the Stone Age, the
Viking Age and early Middle Age.
The old Cistercian Abbey in
Julita - The Saba Abbey
(1180-1527) - in 1452 was declared a holy
pilgrimage by Rome.
Today, Julita is a well-known
center of agricultural history - the National
Agricultural Museum is located here at the Julita
Estate.
The Julita Estate
on the shores of lake Öljaren is a living museum
and a very popular tourist resort.
