You're standing at Örebro Castle, a medieval castle right in the middle of the Swedish town of Örebro. Take a look around. The castle sits on a small island in the river Svartån, and that water once served as a natural line of defence. Even the town's name is tied to the river. 'Ör' refers to the small stones the Svartån carries along, and 'bro' means bridge.
