Nyköping is located on the Baltic Sea coast an hour south of Stockholm. Its proximity to the major cities of Europe via Stockholm Skavsta Airport, to the archipelago and the cultural landscape of the province Sörmland make Nyköping an attractive place to live. The city was founded in the year 1187 and is one of Sweden’s oldest

• towns. Coming to Nyköping, you will find a town of a comfortable size

(50,000 inhabitants) – short distances, pleasant people, classic shopping streets and many cafés, restaurants, shops and art galleries.

Nyköping is probably most famous for the violent Banquet at the Nyköping Castle in 1317, when king Birger invited his brothers Erik and Valdemar to a banquet at the castle and threw them into the dungeons where they, according to legend, starved to death. The foundation is a defence fortress from the 13th century, built on an islet by the mouth of the river Nyköpingsån. King Gustav Vasa reinforced and expanded the fortress and his son duke Karl transformed it into a renaissance castle. In the year of 1665, big parts of the castle burned down and parts of the castle where used to build the Stockholm

• castle. Left today are the King's tower, the Dungeon, the gateway and

some walls. Welcome to Nyköping – a modern town with a proud history. You will find a great number of restaurants, good shopping and a wide variety of culture and entertainment, all in close proximity. Welcome!
