The old town Eksjö
Eksjö is one of Sweden's best-preserved wooden towns, with architecture and memories from over four centuries. Eksjö as a town has been around since the 15th century, but was burned down in the mid-16th century. Most of the buildings that now stand in the picturesque city center, the Old Town, were built after the city was destroyed by fire, and Eksjö has been relatively spared from major fires ever since. Many of the current houses were built in the 16th, 17th and 19th centuries.
Eksjö offers both cultural and nature experiences such as the unique old wooden town, Filmbyn Småland, Skurugata and Skuruhatt - as well as charming little shops, beautiful walking and cycling paths, and swimming opportunities. Christmas Market and City Festival are annual activities. Welcome to experience Eksjö!
