What is the history of Örgryte?
An old parish underlies it. Örgryte carries its name from Örgryte gamla kyrka and Örgryte nya kyrka, the churches that held this eastern country before the city of Gothenburg reached out to enclose it across south-western Sweden. Liseberg later turned the ground into a place of fairs and rides. The quarter grew from farm parish into city district.
