Pedersöre Church
The beautiful Pedersöre Church, on the way into town from the south, was originally built in the 1400s, but the bell tower dates from the 1760s. During the reign of King Gustav III the church was greatly enlarged to become a cross-shaped structure. Thankfully, the architect thumbed his nose at the king's plan to demolish the 85m spire. It's well worth the walk out to see it.

Norrmalmsgatan
One of the prettiest streets is Norrmalmsgatan. The area is wholly residential; there are no trendy antique shops or quirky cafés to slake a visitor's thirst! To enter, you pass through an ornamental entranceway, with a (visually) striking clocktower bridging the street.
