Örebro County, Administrative division in central Sweden
Örebro County is an administrative region in central Sweden with varied landscapes across twelve municipalities. The territory spans from mining areas in the north to farmland in the south, shaped by geography and historical settlement patterns.
The county was established in 1634 as part of a broader reorganization of Swedish territories during that period. Originally it included neighboring regions, but these were separated out by the late 18th century.
The northern part of Bergslagen keeps metalworking traditions alive in workshops and local businesses that you can visit today. You can see how these craft techniques remain woven into how people work and what the region takes pride in.
The region sits between four major Swedish lakes, which shape how you move through the landscape. Public transportation is organized across the municipalities, making it possible to explore different areas by bus and train.
The region creates a transition zone between different Swedish climate patterns, where northern and southern conditions meet. This geographic position makes the territory a blend of distinct natural settings that visitors notice when traveling through different parts.
