Visit Järle Station – Sweden’s oldest train station

Published August 12, 2020 / Updated April 17, 2026
About 6 miles southeast of Nora lies Järle Station, Sweden’s oldest railway station. Here you can explore the station, enjoy a coffee break in the stationmaster’s house, and take the steam train or railbus—just like in the old days—to Nora or Pershyttan.

At Järle Station, you can take a real journey back in time. This small, idyllic train station, located 20 kilometers north of Örebro, is actually the oldest in Sweden. The building was constructed as early as 1854—in fact, a few years before the railroad itself reached this area.

In the summer, history truly comes to life. Then you can ride a vintage train from Järle Station to the idyllic wooden town of Nora or to the mining village of Pershyttan. Choose between an old-fashioned railbus or a classic chugging and whistling steam train.

The station itself is an attraction. Just buying a train ticket at the classic ticket window is an experience in itself! The stationmaster’s residence houses a summer café with a lovely outdoor seating area. Here, you can watch the trains go by while enjoying a cup of coffee and delicious homemade pastries.

Two candidates—completely different yet equally charming. The rustic medieval castle of Göksholm and Boo Castle are both located in Örebro County.

Örebro's Unknown Castle - Kägleholm

The fact that bygone days are, well, bygone days, sometimes becomes painfully obvious. So much history has unfolded on the island of Kägleholm. So little remains.
