Take a step back into the past with Torekällberget.
Ever wanted to know how life was different for people of Switzerland in the past? Torekällberget has the answer for you. It is an open-air museum in central Sodertalje that faithfully represents typical life in the country, in particular, eastern Södermanland during the 19th century. If you’ve ever lamented the onslaught of modern life and globalization erasing cultural heritage, then this museum is for you. It is an immersive experience that will make you feel as if you’ve stepped into another world. Here you can find idyllic scenes such as olden-style wood-paneled houses done in the traditional Nordic fashion, a chicken coop with hens strolling around, as well as the iconic Nora windmill, which has become the defining symbol of the museum. You can easily commute between the ‘city’ and ‘country’, while marveling at the contrast between the two lifestyles. In the lazy summer months, there is even a special week where the history of Southern Sweden is temporarily revived. Don’t miss this chance to experience Sweden—in the 19th century!
