Karlslund — Örebro's cultural area

Since 2009, our shop, paint factory and exhibition have been based in the old brick warehouse along the Svartån River in Örebro's cultural area Karlslund. Here, in the middle of nature but still close to the city, there is much to experience – whether you are looking for culture, inspiration or just a beautiful place to stroll around.

Culture and history at Svartån

Karlslunds herrgård is the heart of the area. Here in the summer you can have a coffee in the garden, book in for a guided tour or let the children try out old craft techniques. In the winter, a Christmas table is set in the manor and in between it is possible to subscribe for parties and gatherings. In the wing of the manor is the charming Lantboden with a handpicked range of interior design, clothes and gifts.

Crafts and art in historic buildings

Karlslund is buzzing with creativity. In the old pig house, the blacksmith Lina – known from several of SVT's Sommartorp programs – works and shows off genuine blacksmithing craftsmanship. In the chicken and flower house you will find the glass artist Anna Höggren, who opens her shop for sales on the last weekend of every month.

The old dairy houses a state museum with sales of handmade glass and linen clothing. Tekniska kvarnen offers experiments and learning for both children and adults, and at Rojan Produkter you will find designer clothes in boiled linen, leather bags, Italian jewelry and a garden café to sit down at.

Summer cafe with us

After midsummer, we will open our own ice cream café for the third year in a row. Here we serve award-winning ice cream from Götlunda Ice Cream, which you can enjoy in the sun right outside the shop and our exhibition.

Take a trip to Lindbacka

Feel free to continue your excursion two kilometers west along the Svartåbanan to Lindbacka bruk – a creative gathering place with Cozo Coffee (White Guide-recommended café and roastery), HEJ Kombucha brewery, art galleries, vintage shops and more.
