West of the city centre, the Stadpark is not your average city park; it’s more of a green city district with an array of facilities and attractions amid an arboretum planted in the year 1900. Jönköping’s open-air museum is here, and boasts ten historic buildings moved to the park to avoid demolition.
There’s a 17th-century bell tower and a Soldattorp, a soldier’s residence from the 19th century when there was a soft conscription known as the Allotment System.
