Kungsör Municipality, Municipal government center in Västmanland County, Sweden
Kungsör Municipality is an administrative region in Västmanland County at the western end of Lake Mälaren in central Sweden. The area includes several small towns and communities spread across mixed urban and rural landscapes.
Kungsör was established as a market town in 1907 and developed as a local trading center. The current municipality was formed in 1971 when several districts merged to create a larger administrative area.
The municipality maintains international relations through a sister city partnership with Spydeberg, Norway, promoting regional cultural exchanges and cooperation.
Visitors can explore this region by moving between several small town centers that offer local services and connections to surrounding areas. Getting around is easiest by car or bus, as the communities spread across the broader landscape without a single dense downtown.
Remains of a royal mansion built during the 16th century under King Gustav Vasa can be found in the area. These ruins offer a glimpse into how the region was shaped by royal interests and early trade routes during the Renaissance period.
