Every design for Trosa

The wooden houses standing close together along the Trosaån give this Sörmland town its unmistakable stamp, with the water running straight through the centre down towards the sea. Trosa lies between Södertälje and Nyköping, right where the river flows out into the Baltic, and that makes the place an obvious gathering point both for those who have lived here long and those who seek it out.

What makes Trosa special is exactly the interplay between town centre and archipelago. A stone's throw from the old Tanner's house, Långnäsviken and Tureholmsviken spread out, while Tureholm and Gröna Torget are among the places you pass without thinking – but miss as soon as you are away.

For anyone who grew up along the river or spent summers by the inlets, every bend and quayside is already in the memory. A shirt with the map of Trosa becomes a small way of keeping that feeling of home with you, however far from home you are – like a postcard you never have to send.
