About Österplana Agriturismo
Österplana Agriturismo is an exciting project where a decommissioned church has been given new life as a restaurant, café, and meeting venue. The vision is based on preserving the building's historical value and character while opening it up for social gatherings and gastronomic experiences. The interior and atmosphere have been carefully adapted to create a harmonious environment where you can sit down for lunch or a coffee in the heart of architectural heritage.
Sustainability is at the core of the business, reflected in everything from the choice of ingredients to how the building is maintained. It is a destination that attracts architecture enthusiasts and food lovers alike, as well as those seeking a peaceful moment during their excursion on Kinnekulle. In addition to the café and restaurant, the premises serve as a unique arena for conferences, meetings, and celebrations, where the special acoustics and sense of space add an extra dimension to every event.
