This is one of the top 10 castles to see in Sweden and has been standing strong since 1364. The name of Örebro comes from the small stones, called "ör" in Swedish, that a river transports. The second part of the word comes from the bridge ("bro") that was built over this ford. Important roads passed by this strategic place because from here one could control the traffic and the trade in the inner parts of Sweden. You can tour this castle within an hour and still have time to have a nice meal in town or make your way to another fortress nearby. I always take the train for transportation to venture off when I am in Europe to meet new people along the way and plan out my future adventures! A very cool castle here in Örebro but do not expect for a full day tour or much going on.
