Nykvarn Municipality (Nykvarns kommun) is amunicipality inStockholm County in east centralSweden. Its seat is located in thetown ofNykvarn.
Nykvarn is a young municipality, and is the result of the splitting ofSödertälje Municipality in 1999. Nykvarn can be regarded as a totally new municipality, because there was never before an entity with that territory or that name.
The municipality has a significant population increase in the summer thanks to tourism.
Nykvarn is located between the twocitiesSödertälje andSträngnäs, and many citizens of Nykvarn work in either.
Archeological finds show the area to have been inhabited for about 5,000 years, similar to its neighbouring municipalities aroundLake Mälaren.
Besides graves from theStone Age, there is also an interestingrunestone that can be visited that is listed in theRundata catalog asSö 338. It currently resides in the Turinge church, a church that has a history dating back to around the year 1100. This runestone has a very long inscription.
A newer sight is theTaxinge-Näsby Castle, which was begun sometime in or before the 14th century, by Bo Jonsson Grip. The castle has its current facade in theempire style from 1813. Many celebrities have during the centuries visited or stayed at the castle, includingCarl Michael Bellman in the 18th century andAugust Strindberg in the 19th century.
