Linköping
Linköping [ˈlɪnɕøːpɪŋ] is a city in southern Sweden, with a population of 97,428 (2005). It is the seat of Linköping Municipality with 138,580 inhabitants (2006) and the capital of Östergötland County. Linköping is also the episcopal see of the Diocese of Linköping (Church of Sweden).
Linköping is the center of an old cultural region and celebrated its 700th anniversary in 1987. Nowadays Linköping is known for its university and its high-technology industry. Dominating the city's skyline from a far distance is the tower of the cathedral.
The city is situated south of lake Roxen (which is part of the historically important water paths Motala ström and the Göta Canal) where the main road from Stockholm to Helsingborg crosses the river Stångån (and Kinda kanal).
