Sunboy statue and rubber duck sculpture

Highlight • Monument

Since 2011, the "Sun Boy" by Finnish artist Pekka Kauhanen from Espoo, near Helsinki, has stood here in Järntorget. As a contribution to "OpenArt," the figure belonged to a group of burlesque-absurd figures such as "Cotton Girl," "Moon Woman," "Snowman," and "Foamhead." Only "Sun Boy" remains of the group, a dark bronze figure depicting a boy with deep-set eyes and an open mouth. The figure is missing its arms. The sculpture group has disappeared, but the Sun Boy is not entirely alone. A closer look at the golden tassel protruding from the side of his head reveals that it is a small, flowing garment. Neither head nor limbs are visible beneath the garment, yet the figure appears alive. Kauhanen's poetic imagery is strongly influenced by fairy tales and invites a variety of interpretations.

Örebro Castle

Highlight • Castle

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.

Pedestrian Bridge in Örebro

And there aren't that many here. Therefore a good possibility to get to the other side.

Wadköping Open-Air Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

In Wadköping you can learn what the city of Örebro used to look like before the city center was modernized. The houses and farms here used to be in the city center. The open-air museum was established in 1965.
