Worth to visit in high season when boats are cruising the canal.

In Borensberg, the Göta Canal meets the Motala Ström, creating a picturesque setting where water and history intertwine. This is one of the few sections of the canal without a lock, as the natural flow of the river carries boats gently onward. The spot is particularly charming, with the old lock keeper’s cottage, small bridges, and cafés giving it the feel of a living postcard. Long a gathering place for travelers and locals, Borensberg highlights the harmony between the canal’s engineering and the surrounding landscape. Today, it remains a beloved stop for cyclists, boaters, and visitors exploring the heart of Östergötland.

From 1100 onwards, the convent (women's monastery) was important. It was dissolved before 1600

The lock staircase, with its seven interconnected locks, is the longest on the canal. The lock staircase lifts the ship 18.8 m.

The gates have served their purpose for many decades, but at some point they will have to be replaced with new ones. They are now very impressive and can be viewed.
