Guided tour

Eksjö is the very essence of a town formed and developed during the period of Sweden's great power.
The majority of the lots in Old Town dates back to the late 16th century. Many of the houses were built from mid- 1700's and onwards.

Arendt de Roy is the same person as Arendt Byggmästare (master builder) and it is when you walk on "his street that you can see and breathe the busy street life that has taken part here for the past 400 years. Let's take a walk on the cobbled streets, from the river bridge up to the church! Maybe you will catch the soul of Eksjö and of times gone by.

Three wooden towns
Eksjö, Hjo and Nora have all recieved the Europa Nostar Award for their well-preserved wooden building heritage. Take a virtual stroll through these towns and read more at: www.tretrastader.se
