Description

In the pasture by Klockrike is a sacrificial spring that goes by the name Helge Björn's holk. Helge Björn, or Holy Björn was a Catholic priest, and Klockrike's first pastor. Helge Björn was injured in 1309 and buried in Klockrike. But when he was worshiped as one of Sweden's few local saints, Helge Björn, Sankte Bero, his grave was moved to Linköping Cathedral about 100 years later. He is believed to have been the one who made sure that Klockrike's first church was built around the year 1300.
