Örebro is a county capital on the main road from Gothenburg to Stockholm, along the river Svartån that drains into the nearby lake
Hjälmaren.
The
city is first mentioned in documents of the 13th century. The connection to the lake made it a commercial center iIn the Middle Ages.
A booming shoe-making
industry in the 19th century gave Örebro a much needed growth spurt.
Today the town is known
for its university, the medieval
Örebro Castle from the 16th century and
Wadköping, an open-air museum with wooden buildings
from the past centuries.
We were in Örebro in July 2016.
