In the 1880s this farm outside Södertälje was taken over by the industrialist Carl Fredrik Liljevalch den yngre. Not just a successful businessman, Liljevalch was a philanthropist and art patron and turned the farm into a cultural meeting place. In that spirit he laid out a gorgeous park around the farm and extended the farmhouse into an opulent ho...
Liljevalch funded the city’s Biological Museum, and it moved into its delightful Art Nouveau building in 1911. The collections were assembled much earlier, making this the oldest museum in Södertälje. The museum has taxidermies of more than 100 animals and bird species from the Södermanland. And while they may not be to everyone’s taste, the Art No...
If you need an idea for a stroll you can venture out to the enigmatic ruins of a medieval castle beside the Södertälje Canal.

That’s because back in the mists of time battles took place right here. Amo...
Go east to the southern shore of Bornsjön lake, where you’ll come to a medieval church embedded in lindens, oaks and birches. This solemn Romanesque edifice is from the 1100s, and the tower’s architecture suggests it may have been used for a defensive purpose at some point. Inside, some of the church’s fittings have been moved to Stockholm’s Swedis...
At Stortorget in the heart of Södertälje is a church begun around the same time, but has had a more eventful history. The oldest remaining portions are the 14th-century groin vaults in the nave. After fires in the year 1650, the church got its Baroque facade, and needed to be restored again following another fire in 1881. Luckily that time most of ...
Not everything is as it seems on the square in front of the church. Unlike most medieval town squares in the world this large plaza wasn’t intended has a place for Södertälje’s citizens to do business. Rather, because of the city’s location, it was a chosen as somewhere for traders from the Baltic Coast and around Lake Mälaren to meet and trade. Ot...
North to south, and parallel to the Södertälje Canal is the city’s pedestrian street and main commercial artery. This isn’t really a street for sightseeing as it was modernised after the war, but you can learn a lot about Södertälje on Storgatan. When Varuhuset Kringlan opened here on the corner of Eksdalsgatan in 1965 it became one of Sweden’s fir...
