Eskilstuna, Industrial urban center in Södermanland County, Sweden
The city spans along the Eskilstuna River between Lake Hjälmaren and Lake Mälaren, forming a significant urban settlement at 26 meters above sea level.
Founded in 1659, Eskilstuna transformed from a monastery site named after Saint Eskil into a metal manufacturing center that rivaled Sheffield in steel production.
The industrial heritage remains visible through multiple museums displaying metalwork collections, traditional manufacturing techniques, and historical production equipment.
Eskilstuna connects to Stockholm and other major Swedish cities through the Mälartåg railway line and European route E20, with an airport 13 kilometers east.
The city received free town status in 1771, allowing tax-free manufacturing operations that established its position as Sweden's primary steel production center.
