Overview:
Eskilstuna, Sweden,
a town of about 91,000 inhabitants, is situated close to Lake Malaren
about 100 kilometers west of Stockholm in Sweden.
Our town has an interesting history. Eskilstuna was well-known
as a flourishing industrial town as early as the 17th century.
King Karl X Gustav founded the Rademacher Forges in 1650 when he
asked Reinhold Rademacher, a master smith, to manage the forges.
The character of the town has changed over the years. With
the inauguration 1997 of the high speed train service from
Stockholm to Eskilstuna the town has become a centre in the fast
growing Malarregion. Stockholm is now only 60 minutes away by
rail which makes it feasible to live in Eskilstuna and work in
Stockholm. It is also convenient for visitors to Stockholm to
take a day trip to Eskilstuna.
