Olof Palmes Torg
Örebros historiska hjärta med nygotiskt pumphus över en uråldrig källa – en tidskapsel mitt i stadens puls.
Våghustorget is a charming town square in southern Örebro's center, home to the city's only preserved pumphouse from 1872. Built over a natural spring in English neo-Gothic style by architect Adolf Kjellström, it supplied water to local households until 1888. Once a parking lot and known as Pumpkälltorget, the square blends history with modern urban renewal, featuring granite and limestone architecture amid pedestrian-friendly surroundings.
