Styrsö

The southern central hub of Gothenburg archipelago contains four distinct communities: Byn, Tången, Halsvik, and Bratten, connected by narrow roads across varied landscapes.

The settlement of Byn features a church from 1752, traditional farms, and agricultural land that maintains its original structure from centuries past.

The fishing village of Tången displays traditional maritime architecture with dense building patterns and winding streets that reflect local maritime heritage.

Accessible through three ferry terminals at Bratten, Tången, and Skäret, the island operates without cars, using utility mopeds and golf carts for transportation.

From Stora Rös, the highest point on the island, visitors can observe the entire Gothenburg archipelago while following trails down to Brännholmsviken and Skäret.
