 Since 1980, the château has been owned by , the Swedish Pentecostal movement's church in Linköping.From 1996 on there are people from different denominations living a common life at the castle, praying, working and studying according to a simple rule.Out of this common life of prayer together with the visitors at retreats and seminars given at the château a need for something "more" arose and this gave birth to the independent Ecumenical Community of Bjärka-Säby with its members scattered throughout Scandinavia though regularly returning to the castle.
