Bjärka-Säby Château is a baroque-style château located 2 miles southeast of Linköping in Östergötland County, Sweden, designed by Fredrik Magnus Piper and completed in 1797. Part of an architectural ensemble that also includes an older château dating from 1632, the newer structure blends baroque and neoclassical elements. Today it serves as a center for an ecumenical community, Ekumeniska Kommuniteten i Bjärka-Säby (EKiBS), whose members gather there for meetings and retreats while maintaining scattered residences across Sweden and other Scandinavian countries. The entire château complex is designated as a listed building.
