In 1758, it was formally transformed into a fund for the support of unmarried female members of the nobility, who also used the title stiftsfröken. Though Vadstena adliga jungfrustift never functioned as a stift, the Norrköping jungfrustift, formally a branch of the Vadstena adliga jungfrustift, did function as a stift in Norrköping from 1783-1796.
