Strängnäs is a locality and the seat of Strängnäs Municipality, Södermanland County, Sweden with 12,856 inhabitants in 2010. It is located by Lake Mälaren and is the episcopal see of the Diocese of Strängnäs, a former Roman Catholic and present Lutheran Diocese, with the Strängnäs Cathedral, built 1291 as an important landmark.
The name Strängnäs is first encountered in 1120, as the name of the Diocese. It leads back to the fact that the city is placed by a strait and on several hills, especially on two major ones, the “Mill Hill” and the “Cathedral Hill”. The name “Strängnäs” is derived from Old Norse strengr (“narrow channel of water”) and nes (“isthmus”, “narrow peninsula”, ” headland”, a very common toponymic in Skandinavia). A monastery was established around 1250, and the cathedral inaugurated in 1291, and the town continued to evolve around these two institutions.
