Discover Historic Uppland

Uppland holds a central place in Swedish history, and the region is adorned with castles and manor houses that bear witness to times gone by. Embedded throughout the countryside are remarkable stories that encapsulate Sweden’s heritage—from its earliest beginnings to modern-day society.

Even before what we today call the Viking Age, Uppland was a place of settlement and gathering for the people of the time. History has left its mark on the region and shaped the story of the entire nation. Uppland and the city of Uppsala together offer countless stories to discover—ranging from grand royalty and rich cultural life to groundbreaking scientific achievements.

Beyond the cities, there is even more to explore. The Uppland countryside proudly displays its castles and manor estates. Not least, the region still preserves many of the historic ironworks that once sustained Sweden’s iron production—an export of great importance for several centuries.

Surrounding all of this lies the Swedish countryside, a living reminder of the agricultural society Sweden once was.
