Oxelösund has served as an iron-ore export port in Södermanland since the late 19th century. Set on the Baltic Sea south of Nyköping, the town developed around its deep-water harbour and rail links, connecting central Sweden’s mining districts with international trade. Industry remains central to local life: SSAB operates a steelworks here. The coast is broken by low rocky islands and sheltered inlets, while the Femöre peninsula has coastal paths and the former Femöre Fortress, a Cold War defence installation now functioning as a museum.
