Örebro

Few cities in Örebro County have a history as closely tied to the medieval crossing of the Svartån as Örebro. The river runs through the centre before continuing toward Lake Hjälmaren, placing the city in the lowland heart of central Sweden. Örebro Castle, founded in the 13th century on an island in the Svartån, remains the city's defining landmark; its four round towers give it a fortress-like profile. Beside the river, Wadköping preserves relocated timber buildings and presents the town life and crafts of earlier centuries. Örebro is also a practical regional centre, with a compact core shaped by its waterways and castle precinct.
