Address: Dalsgatan 15, 602 32 Norrköping

Louis De Geer Concert & Congress opens its doors to large concerts, conferences and congresses with demands for first-class acoustics and plenty of space on both sides of the orchestra pit. The beautiful blue concert hall seats up to 1,379 people in the audience and has a massive stage of 310 square meters. The concert hall was inaugurated in 1994, but has its roots in the paper industry and was built as early as 1954. Much of the old industrial architecture has been preserved, which makes the house unique.

Address: Drottninggatan 48, 602 32 Norrköping

In the middle of the city stands a building with a long history. It started as a church in the 12th century and was then burnt down and rebuilt in stages. It was not until 1913 that it became an auditorium. Behind the wall paint still hides 18th-century paintings, and if you look really closely, you can see that some chest panels are parts of old church pews. In total, a maximum of 350 people can stay in the Hörsalen at the same time.
