Växjö

One of Sweden's oldest mansions and a ruin since raided by Nils Dacke. The castle lies on the grounds of a still-inhabited late 18th-century mansion. There's also a nice garden cafe in an old workers building which serves local products in a cozy atmosphere.

Built in the 12th century. It has two large spires and an interior filled with glass from Kosta Boda and other Swedish glass makers that are near the town.

An industrial museum including a small village, a mansion, and several old factories in pretty surroundings. Huseby was originally an iron foundry with history from the 17th century and in use until the 1950s. Donated to the state after a scandal called "Husebyaffären" (The Huseby affair) in the 1950s where the uneducated owner Florence Stephens were swindled for large amounts by trusted employees. Also involved was Prince Carl Bernadotte who confessed to the charges but was somehow acquitted.

It is a place with beautiful Swedish nature, tourists and a cozy but relatively expensive café. The castle dates back to 14th century, and figured in both the Danish-Swedish wars and as base of operations for the Geatish freedomfighter, Nils Dacke, who fought against the Swedish crown in the 16th century.

A museum about the cultural history of Småland and "The Swedish Glass Museum". In addition to glass in all its variations, the exhibition shows emerald jewelry, Viking silver treasure, arts and crafts, and some archaeological finds.

A museum concerning the great emigration from Sweden in general and from Småland in particular in the 19th century.

It looks old but was in fact built in 1900.
