| For over 700 years Örebro
Castle has kept a watchful eye on everyone crossing the bridge on the River Svartån. The
oldest part of the castle, a defence tower, was erected in the latter half of the 13th
century. This tower was added to in the 14th century to make a larger stronghold, and towards the end of the 16th century most of the impressive castle we see today was built. Many important events in Swedish history took place here. For over two hundred years it has been the residence of the county governor, but a great deal is open to the general public, with art, music, good food, exhibitions, guided tours, conferences, the tourist bureau and lots more. |
