Köpingsvik

Köpingsvik has served as a trading place on Öland since the Viking Age. Set on the island’s shore of the Kalmar Strait, the settlement lies just north of Borgholm, where cultivated fields meet a low Baltic coastline. Archaeological excavations have identified extensive Viking-Age burial grounds and evidence of exchange, confirming this small community’s role in early medieval Öland. Köpingsvik Church, of medieval origin, remains a local landmark, while the wider island is defined by limestone ground and open farmland.
