Örebro Castle
Örebro Castle is a stone castle on a small island in the Svartån river in Örebro, Sweden. It originated as a medieval defensive tower, was expanded into a Renaissance residence under the House of Vasa and was finally rebuilt around 1900. Today the building is intact and houses public functions including some school rooms.

As it stood in 1900
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact rectangular main block of roughly five storeys, flanked symmetrically by large cylindrical round towers built of roughly coursed grey fieldstone; roofs are steep, dark slate with small dormer windows and copper-clad conical/hexagonal caps on the towers showing a green patina. A carved stone entrance portal sits centrally on the river-facing façade. The castle stands on a low stone quay on a small island in the brown water of the Svartån, with a short stone bridge giving access.
