Hallsberg Attractions
South of Örebro lies the town of Hallsberg (pop. 16,000), a railroad junction. The town is noted for its railway yards and oversize train station, larger than normally needed for a town of this size. In Västra Storgatan is an Art Nouveau house built for a businessman named Adolf Bergöö in 1889, with wall paintings by his son-in-law Carl Larsson in the banqueting hall.
Boo Manor House
South-east of Hallsberg, on Lake Avern, is the neo-Gothic manor house of Boo (1876-82). The chapel has a bell-tower built by Field Marshal H. J. Hamilton (1728-33) in thanksgiving for his safe return from imprisonment in Russia.
