Naturum Tåkern

Naturum Tåkern, Nature center near Lake Tåkern, Sweden.

Naturum Tåkern is a nature center at Glänås on the southern shore of Lake Tåkern in Östergötland, Sweden. Designed by Gert Wingårdh and Johan Edblad, it consists of three buildings—for exhibitions, storage and birdwatching—with roofs and parts of the walls covered in reed. It opened in May 2012 and was nominated for the Kasper Salin Prize that year.

The lake became an important site for bird observation and scientific study, leading to the center's opening in 2012. This came after years of research that showed how vital the location is for migrating and breeding birds.

The name naturum is used for Swedish visitor centres at nature reserves and national parks. The centre was designed by Gert Wingårdh and Johan Edblad of Wingårdh Arkitektkontor AB, and the building was nominated for the 2012 Kasper Salin Prize. Its roof and parts of the walls are covered with reeds, a material that ties the structure to the surrounding wetland.

The outdoor trails and observation facilities stay open year-round and can be explored independently at your own pace. Summer visits offer guided tours in English, though spring and autumn migrations bring the most bird activity to watch.

The building was nominated for the 2012 Kasper Salin Prize, Sweden's award for the best building of the year. Architects Gert Wingårdh and Johan Edblad designed it for the County Administrative Board of Östergötland and the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.
