Introduction

Örebro Castle stands on a small island in the Svartån river. It began as a 13th-century defensive tower and was rebuilt into a well-preserved Renaissance castle in 1573 by Duke Charles, later Charles IX. Its red-brick towers mirror in the water, making it one of central Sweden's most recognisable landmarks; it still hosts royal visits and major historical exhibitions.
