Motala Municipality (''Motala kommun'') is a municipality in Östergötland County in southeast Sweden. Its seat is located in the city of Motala. In 1971 Motala Municipality was formed by the amalgamation of the ''City of Motala'' with some of the adjacent rural municipalities. Three years later more entities were added, among them the former ''City of Vadstena''. In 1980 a new Vadstena Municipality was split off. Geographically, Motala is situated where Lake Vättern drains into the river system of Motala ström, which was of central importance to the massive industrialization of Sweden in the 19th century. ==Sights and museums== *Charlottenborg Castle *Godegård manorhouse with the Swedish Porcelain Museum *Göta Canal with locks *Medevi 17th century spa, the oldest in Sweden *Motala Church *Motala Motor Museum *The Museum of Motala Industrial History *Nubbekullen, birthplace of artist August Malmström *The Swedish Broadcasting Museum with the twin radio towers *Ulvåsa, manorhouse and medieval ruins of St Bridget's home *Varamon beach *Västra Stenby Church and rune stone *Övralid, manorhouse and home of author Verner von Heidenstam 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Motala Municipality」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
