Best places: Historical landmarks in Enköping, Sweden

Lakeside castle housing ornate, 16th-century interiors, state portrait collection & lavish theater.

Ancient remains area & burial ground from Late Iron Age with 1 of Sweden's largest burial mounds.

👍👍 What an incredibly spiritual experience. To see the majesty of the mounds, the beauty of the country and the sacredness of the old grounds. The whole experience was very surreal. For anyone with Scandinavian ancestry or people just interested in the culture and history this is a must see. To wa...

👍👍 A beautiful estate, the house itself is interesting to walk in (fee was 100 kr pp). You can walk the grounds for free. The moat surrounding the estate is ideal for a picnic or Fika at the cafe

Quaint 18th-century former estate home of university professor, with guided tours & a scenic garden.

Simple B&B above a former silver mine offering mine tours & a restaurant, plus an underground room.

The restored 18th-century botanical garden is open seasonally & includes thousands of plant species.

Recreated 19th-century village exploring Swedish culture via costumed interpreters & demonstrations.

Located in Sweden's first town founded as Christian, this ruined church dates from the 12th century.

👍👍 Excellent actual Viking site. Superb full scale reconstructions, expansive and detailed dioramas. Actual burial mounds. Is very difficult to find how to get to the island via Stromma boats. Worth the effort.

👍👍 A historic bell that has some interesting history behind it. The bell was cast in 1588 by order of wife of King Johan III Gunilla Belke, as there is a corresponding inscription on its rim. The bell was intended for the chimes of the castle Church, and for more than a hundred years it struck the time...

👍👍 This was so cool! The ruins were so old… wow. Can go inside and nice when sun was going down. Free entrance. Kind of suspicious how easy was to walk right in such a historical monument but I suppose the town is secluded and not many vandals.

👍 Really beautiful landmark. Great views.

This orangery in a 1787 neoclassical building houses the botanical garden's tropical plants & cacti.

👍👍 Studenicaklostret är ett serbisk-ortodoxt kloster beläget 39 km sydväst om Kraljevo i centrala Serbien. Det är ett av de största och rikaste serbisk-ortodoxa klostren. Stefan Nemanja, medeltida Serbiens grundare, grundade klostret år 1190. Serberna respekterar enormt mycket mer sina tradition . Det...

👍 A large rune inscription clearly visible on exposed bedrock, located just by the road with plenty of space to park. Very informative signs in both Swedish and English explaining the inscription more in-depth than usual. Some absolutely gorgeous nature around the place as well, particularly the reser...

😐 Seems to be a nice castle, it was not open for a guided tour, we will revisit when it's open

👍👍 All around greenery. I would recommend to all nature lovers.

👍 You think that the biggest tree in the urban forest is something to behold, but once you get there you realize that it's just a tree, and that it could just as easily have been any other tree in the immediate vicinity of the tree. Having said that, I have myself to blame for deciding to make an exc...

👍 Efter en promenad med lite klättring belönas man med en härlig utsikt. Se till att skydda er mot fästingar.
