Rural luxury at Katrinelund Inn and Seaside Restaurant

Published August 11, 2020 / Updated April 17, 2026
Katrinelund is located in a peaceful cove on the shores of Lake Hjälmaren, about 45 minutes from downtown Örebro. This culinary paradise features two restaurants and a hotel—all offering stunning views of Lake Hjälmaren.

"A Summer Dream by the Water"

Sjökrogen, open during the summer, is located right on the water with outdoor seating on the pier; right next door is the year-round inn. Both have quickly become favorites among Örebro residents as well as White Guide readers. "A summer dream by the water," writes White Guide in a review of Katrinelunds Sjökrog—and surely a long lunch with fresh fish on a sunny pier sounds like a real summer dream, doesn’t it?

The focus is on local delicacies, particularly Hjälmargösen, which is served in various forms, as well as other locally sourced seasonal ingredients. Some of the ingredients for the high-quality cuisine are even grown right in the inn’s backyard!
