Welcome to Falköping!

Our forefathers chose to settle in this area more than 5,000 years ago. Grazing cattle and rich harvests still offer the perfect conditions for successful local production of culinary necessities and delicacies. This is why we are both proud and confident when we welcome visitors to a place where you really can enjoy all the good things in Life.
