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!
