Södermanland County has served as an administrative county within Sweden since the 17th century. Often called Sörmland, it extends from the shores of Lake Mälaren to the Baltic Sea, where a broken coast and island-dotted archipelago shape its eastern edge. Inland, cultivated plains alternate with woods and lakes, giving the county a distinctly settled lowland character. Nyköping, the county seat, stands on the Nyköping River and is home to Nyköping Castle, a medieval stronghold associated with the 1317 Nyköping Banquet. Stockholm lies just beyond the county’s northern boundary, yet Sörmland retains the rhythm of manor estates, farms and coastal communities.
