Örebro castle, Medieval castle in Örebro, Sweden.
The stone fortress stands on an island formed by the Svartån river, featuring four corner towers and defensive walls surrounding a central courtyard.
Magnus IV of Sweden ordered the construction of the initial defense tower in the 13th century, which later expanded into a complete fortification system.
The castle maintains its role as the governor's residence of Örebro County since 1764 while incorporating educational facilities for Karolinska gymnasiet students.
Visitors can access guided tours, exhibitions about medieval life, and explore multiple floors showcasing different architectural periods from Renaissance to modern times.
The name Örebro originates from the small stones carried by the river and the word for bridge, reflecting its geographical connection to water.
