Historical Towns & Castles
Nyköping - historical town by the river
Nyköping is one of Sweden's oldest towns and located where the Nyköping river meets the Baltic Sea. Today, it is the residential city of Sörmland county (Södermanland).
Throughout our walk we'll discover the variety of Nyköping's architecture as well the calming ambience along the river. You'll learn about why there is no more than one building left from the time before 1719 and why a medieval key became the town's emblem. By the ancient castle of Nyköping, I will give you an insight in the most famouse part of the town's history. We'll end our tour by the harbor, where you find numerous cafés and restaurants to enjoy a typical Swedish 'fika' (coffee & pastry).

Discover these historical towns with your personal guide.
Trosa - former fishing village with charm
Trosa is a pittoresque village by the Baltic Sea and listed as one of the most beautiful towns in Sweden. Here, we get to experience architecture of different centuries and, during the summer time, a magnificent flowerage along the houses and bridges of the Trosa river.
Historically, Trosa transformed from being a fishing village to one of the most popular tourist destinations in Sörmland.
In the 13th century, Trosa was still located several kilometers further inland. Which role does the last ice age play in the relocation of Trosa throughout the past centuries? This and more, you'll learn on a guided tour with me.
I love to connect the local history of the town with the history of the last ice age, which impactfully shaped Sweden's landscape, even beyond the era of glaciation.

Nynäs Castle - telling us the history of many centuries
Nynäs Castle is located within the Nynäs nature reserve, in proximity to the Baltic Sea. The land was already a manor during the 14th century. Today's main building was presumably built around 1650 under Erik Gyllenstierna.
The interiors of Nynäs Castle are remarkably well preserved and represent different centuries. Unlike in other castles, no furnitures have been collected from different places. Almost everything inside the castle stems originally from Nynäs estate. Much had been stored in the attic of the castle and thus it was possible to set up the interiors the way they might have been centuries ago.
To book a guided tour inside the castle, please contact the administration directly (see link below).
