Built around the fertile Östgöta Plain and waterways linking Lake Vättern to the Baltic, Östergötland County grew into one of southern Sweden’s key agricultural and urban regions. Linköping, the county seat, is marked by its medieval cathedral, while Motala is an important stop on the Göta Canal, Sweden’s 19th-century cross-country waterway. Lake Vättern forms the western edge; eastward, the county reaches the Baltic coast and the islands of the Gryt archipelago. Vadstena preserves the legacy of Saint Bridget through its medieval abbey church and Renaissance castle.
