Understand

Linkping, nestled in the fertile farmland district of stergtland, serves as the hub for clerical and administrative activities. With a history dating back to the Middle Ages, this ancient city is among the oldest in Sweden. Two prominent medieval structures, namely the cathedral and the castle, stand as magnificent remnants of bygone eras. Linkping showcases its resilience through the memorial of the "battle of Stngebro" fought in 1598, where the city valiantly fought on the Catholic side even though they suffered a defeat. Additionally, the main square commemorates the "bloodbath of Linkping" in 1600. Linkping's vibrancy is accentuated by its renowned university, where students contribute to the city's vibrant atmosphere day and night.
