Join me today as we walk around the #HISTORICAL #LANDMARK of WADKÖPING ~ in ÖREBRO SWEDEN. 🇸🇪 You will see houses dating back to the 17th, 18th and early 19th century. They preserved and moved these from the city centre and collected them like an OPEN AIR #MUSEUM.
It created a village / district you can wander through to see and feel how a vibrant #city was like in days gone by. So come along… we have lots to discover 😁

Let’s start our walk now, come along 😊
We wander through the large city park of Örebro to get to the village, it is just outside its centre.
It is the end of November so we do see some decorations for Christmas 🎄 around us. It was a cold day as during the night it had frozen hard.🥶 We visit late in the day as we explored the city itself first. (More posts to come 😉) It is now just past 1600h and soon it will get dark.
We enter the historical landmark and see a cute cobbled street. With a #WELCOME sign 🪧
I love the silhouettes on top of it 😊
The stands on the side will house soon a Christmas market 🎄 We were here at the wrong time/ day haha, but it won’t stop us from #exploring this open air museum 🤓 ourselves.
There is an information board, on it we can read:
A layout of the buildings… the village, on the right next to the text.
We wander and see around us houses painted in a bright #RED colour.
Little squares here and there. I can imagine the #Christmas #market to be a success with so many stalls everywhere.
Even though it is late and almost nobody around, a few houses are open and we can take a peek inside. We see scenes of times gone by… every day life from the villagers.
The next room #fascinated me. Just have a closer look at the #walls behind the women. Very very old #MURALS. Painted with several colours. So beautiful to see that they decorated their walls with beautiful #images.
We walk further and look up once in a while. The balustrade decorated with Christmas lights ✨
So many streets to explore, one could get lost haha 😂 Let’s focus on the main streets through this village. I like that they even thought of details to put in the front of the houses like this very old wheelbarrow. It fits perfect the time of the ancient buildings.
In a little side street we see a large wooden horse 🐎
The red of the houses just stands out so much. It must have been beautiful back in the days. Just imagine leaves 🍃 on the trees. A cute #courtyard 🥰
A little alley looking out over the large park shows little wooden lambs. 🐑 Animals would have been part of the village life back in the days.
The museum was closed for the day, but this cute street has a beautiful view. Especially with the decorations high up. 🎄
At the far end of this village we see this barn. The deep red is so beautiful 🥰
Next to it there is an open area with picnic tables to gather.
We go back to the main streets through this village. We see houses from the early 19th century. The red houses are switched off with light blue now and even some white ones.
We see the #sunset 🌇 in the sky. The Christmas 🎄 bell 🔔 stands out against it.
Walking further I look up. I show you this beautiful lantern. Have a closer look.
Did you see the BIRD? It is made either out of metal or wood. A cute details, missed by many 😎
We walk further… the main street through is lovely especially now the sky is turning into soft pinks and yellows.
I so recommend visiting this place during a market or a day everything is open. You find #artisanal shops, museums, restaurants and much more…
Even though most was closed, we still enjoyed just wandering around. Especially without crowds like in the summer.
A sign showing you where to go next 😊
We see an office…
Looking at the alley it is located in.
Here you can read how this house changed over the centuries.
Another stunning building. With many more century specific decorations next to it. See also the thumbnail/ first photo.
Looking past the alley way. We walk further It is getting darker now in some areas. I capture the sunset again. Little lights on the fence guide you ✨
The house next to us has the following information for you.
Looking back at the little alley.
We go now through some streets in the back. I notice the chairs 🪑
Do you see them?
Looking through the gate…
At the other end of this village / open air museum we find another ground plan of all the buildings and houses.
As we walk out of Wadköping, into the park, we look one more time back and see:
It is such a stunning and unique place to visit. Don’t miss it if you are in the south of Sweden 🇸🇪 We walked today only through a part of it, more for you and me to discover… one day 😊
