Nydala Abbey (Swedish: "Nydala kloster" ) was a Cistercian monastery in the province of Småland, Sweden, near the lake Rusken. Although the abbey ceased to operate in the 16th century, its church was renovated and converted into a Protestant church during the 17th century and is still in use. The church belongs to the Church of Sweden and is part of the Diocese of Växjö.
The monastery was not built to be Protestant 
Since it was later converted to be Protestant, this means it was not originally intended to be Protestant.
