Rotebro

The names Rotebro and Rotsunda were formed from a bridge (Sw. bro) spanning a strait (Sw. sund).

Originally, the river was a canal, which was dug through the marshland in the 19th century to drain it and free more arable land.

North of the river is a hill with a hill fort from the Battle of Rotebro in 1497, when troops loyal to Sten Sture the Elder lost a battle against the Danish army led by Hans of Denmark, which included forces from Uppland.

In the 19th century, the painter August Malmström sometimes stayed in this inn; his painting Grindslanten from 1885 depicts a fight by a gate in Rotebro.

Rotebro has three golf courses, which are used for cross-country ski tracks in the winter.
