Årby Nature Reserve

Highlight • Forest

The millennia-old Årby nature reserve is more than just forest and fields. It is a living time capsule. At the transitions between farmland and the tree line, rare plants and animals reveal that this land has been cultivated for generations. If you look closely, you will discover several Iron Age burial grounds between the meadows and forests. Silent witnesses of a past that has never completely disappeared here.

Canal Lock

Highlight • Structure

The double lock in Torshälla is a quiet but surprisingly fascinating stop along the way. Built between 1856 and 1860 to connect Eskilstuna's burgeoning steel industry with Lake Mälaren, they are the successors to one of Sweden's very first canals – originally commissioned by Duke Charles (later Charles IX) as early as around 1596. The original wooden lock gates are long gone, but today's stone chambers have changed little since they were built.

Sundbyholm Castle

Highlight • Castle

Schloss Sundbyholm was originally a Knights Hospitaller monastery, which was requisitioned by the Swedish crown in 1527. It is located on a hill with a lake view and has a sports boat marina.
Today, it is a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️️-star hotel and conference center. More info here: sundbyholms-slott.se/en
