Iconic Landmark and History

Svampen, Örebro's beloved water tower, stands 58 meters tall in the Norr district, designed by architects Sune Lindström and Poul Kyhl. Constructed between 1956 and 1958, its massive 3,200-ton reservoir—45.5 meters in diameter—was hoisted into place using 32 hydraulic jacks at 58 cm per day. Originally holding 9 million liters, it replaced older towers and now hosts a skybar with stunning city panoramas.

Dining Experience

The rotating Skybar serves a diverse lunch buffet featuring European and Swedish cuisine, soups, salads, cheeses, and desserts, often praised for value around 100 SEK. À la carte options, vegan and vegetarian dishes, beer, wine, and coffee complement the views. Indoor seating provides coziness on rainy days, with outdoor terraces for clear skies.

Observation Deck and Views

Ascend via elevators to the observation deck for unobstructed sights over Örebro's skyline, waterfront, and surrounding landscapes. Informational panels detail city landmarks. A glass enclosure ensures safety while preserving the vista, making it ideal for photos, strolls, and sunset watching.

Events and Accessibility

Host conferences, weddings, or celebrations in versatile spaces with live music options. Wheelchair accessible with highchairs for families; parking nearby. Reservations recommended for peak lunch hours.
