Västmanland, Historical province in central Sweden
The province spans over 8,363 square kilometers and features a diverse terrain of rocky areas, forests, lakes, and fertile plains near Lake Mälaren.
The region contains over 20,000 ancient remains, including Sweden's largest burial mound at Anundshög, dating back to the early Iron Age period.
Västerås Abbey, constructed in the 13th century, stands as a medieval religious center where Swedish king Erik XIV found his final resting place.
