Tips from the Community
Örebro Castle is situated on an island in the Svartån River. It was originally built, presumably in the mid-14th century, by King Magnus Eriksson as a fortified castle. Around 1600, during the reign of Duke Charles, and from 1604 onwards King Charles IX, it was remodeled into a Renaissance castle in the French style. By this time, it had largely lost its function as a defensive structure. The renovations carried out in the 20th century did not alter the exterior of the castle, but none of the interior rooms remain in their original condition. Since 1764, the Governor of Örebro County has resided in the castle's northwest tower.

Wadköping is an open-air museum in the Swedish city of Örebro. It preserves the city's architectural heritage, the oldest of which dates back to the 15th or 16th century. The museum opened in 1965 to commemorate Örebro's 700th anniversary. It was named after the fictional city of Wadköping, based on Örebro, in the work of author Hjalmar Bergman. Even outside of shop opening hours, there's plenty to see, as many houses are open, so come on in!

This stretch of road goes through hay farmland near Tysslingen lake. The nature reserve is famed for its spring bird migration, especially Whooper Swans. It's a very quiet road where you can enjoy the scenic landscape.
