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 lies just east of central Linköping. The Stångån runs between them, and the district's eastern parts are dominated by Saab AB, the industries around it and Linköping Airport.
