Castle and Cathedral Museum
A museum that shows the town's history as a seat for bishops since the 12th century. Inside the castle.
City Hall
It was built as a secondary school (läroverk) in 1864. Above its entrance is the Latin phrase "Initium sapientie timor Domini" (fear of the Lord is the beginning of all learning). This power triangle is on the crest of a minor hill from which the city's main street (Storgatan) slopes down to the main square (Stortorget) and further down to the bridge (Stångebro) across river Stångån. In its extension, this street was part of the old country road to Norrköping and Stockholm.
Östergötland County Museum
A museum showing the history of the province. It also houses a large art collection with both old and contemporary art.
