About Johannelund
Where to stay in Johannelund
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Beds are scarce in the quarter. Johannelund is a residential district more than a lodging one, so most visitors book in central Linköping and travel out to the south-east for the park and the churches. If you would rather stay near Berga minnespark and the calm of these streets, that quieter base is the choice over the busier centre.
About Johannelund
What are the main landmarks in Johannelund?
A green memorial grounds the district. Berga minnespark opens among the streets, while Berga kyrka and the church of Sankta Maria i Johannelund give the quarter its two places of worship on the south-eastern side of Linköping. Three marks hold it together.
For wider sights the centre of Linköping lies a short way off, but within Johannelund the park and the churches set the local landmarks.
What is the history of Johannelund?
Johannelund filled in as Linköping spread south-east. Streets and housing gathered on this ground beyond the older core, and a parish took root with the building of Berga kyrka and the later church of Sankta Maria i Johannelund. It grew quarter by quarter.
The district came together as a residential corner of Linköping, joined to Tannefors and the city's other neighbourhoods across this side of central Sweden.
Where is Johannelund?
Johannelund holds the south-eastern side of Linköping. It runs between several of the city's quarters, with Tannefors set away to the north and the districts of Berga and Ekholmen pressing in along its other edges, so the housing here joins one neighbourhood to the next across this part of town. The whole of it lies inside Linköping, a city of central Sweden.
