About Tannefors
Where to stay in Tannefors
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Tannefors leans residential and industrial. Most beds gather over in central Linköping, near the cathedral and the castle, so visitors usually base there and cross the Stångån for the sights. If you have business toward Saab AB or Linköping Airport, the eastern end of the district puts you close to that ground.
The rail stop on the Tjust and Stångådal lines keeps the centre within easy reach either way.

About Tannefors
What are the main landmarks in Tannefors?
The parish church anchors the quarter. Tannefors kyrka stands among the streets, and the great sights of Linköping rise a short way off across the Stångån, where Linköpings domkyrka lifts its spire over the city and Linköpings slott keeps its old walls beside it. Two more churches mark the way.
Sankt Lars kyrka and Linköpings missionskyrka sit within the centre, with the Linköpings slotts- & domkyrkomuseum gathering the cathedral and castle story under one roof.
What is the history of Tannefors?
Tannefors took shape along the Stångån. Mills and works drew on the water as Linköping reached out from its core, and over time aviation made its mark too, with Saab AB and the airfield at Linköping Airport settling on the open ground to the east. Trade and industry built the place.
The Tjust and Stångådal lines brought the railway through Tannefors, and a stop on those lines fixed the district to the wider network of central Sweden.
Where is Tannefors?
Tannefors keeps to the north-western side of Linköping, the part of the city that faces the Stångån as the river runs past the older centre. Its eastern reaches give over to industry, with Saab AB and Linköping Airport spread across the flatter ground beyond the housing, while the neighbouring district of Johannelund lies away within the same city. The whole quarter falls inside Linköping in central Sweden.
