Tips

Bondtorget is the western part of Stora torget in Västerås. Beneath the cobblestones lies an old Christian burial site from the 11th century or possibly even older. The burial site was closed in the 13th century and is built over with houses. But the cobblestones hold more secrets. One of the houses on the edge of the square burned down in 1972. Remains of an older building were found under the burnt-out ruins. In a cavity in a wall, someone had hidden a treasure: 16,232 silver coins weighing a total of eighteen kilos, which later received the name "Västerås Treasure". The most recent coins were dated to 1518, suggesting that they were hidden sometime during the Liberation War. Most of the coins were minted in Västerås and were unused. The coins most likely came from the Sala silver mine, as it had previously been decided that Sala silver could only be minted in Västerås and Stockholm.
