Örebro Tip
by Nobbe
Found this old building on Nikolaigatan near the medieval St. Nicolai Church. If I read the text that was once written on the wall it says: Kungliga Telegrafverket (The Royal Telegraph Company). So this building sure is from the past. Have no idea at all what it is used to these days.
LIF handboll.
by Dizzyhead
Lindeskolans IF plays in the highest division in handball in Sweden, but they dont play the games in Lindesberg. But that will change from season 2020-2011, then they will play in Lindesberg sport stadium. So, if I was in Örebro and Lindeskolan plays a game, I would go and see them before they move away from Örebro.
Have a visit to Järle railway...
by Nobbe
Have a visit to Järle railway station. This is the oldest railway station in Sweden, built in 1854. During the summers you still can take a steam train from Järle to Nora. The place Järle can be found north of Örebro.
King and Queen door
by sim1
The guided tour starts in the courtyard of the castle, and you can hear all about the building history of the castle. You can clearly see at points all the alterations that have been made to the castle over the centuries. A few fun details were pointed out, like the two sets of doors that are in opposite corners in the inner courtyard. The first set of doors is for the king and queen. In those days it was very important that the King should have its own entrance. So the solution was to give the king and the queen there own entrance door as you can see on the picture. Of course the door for the king should be much bigger than the one for the queen, so that makes it the door on the right side in the picture the 'king’s door'.
The doors actually lead to different parts of the castle. The king and queen didn't like each other very much, so they lived in separate quarters of the castle.
