Örbyhus is a locality situated in Tierp Municipality, Uppsala County, Sweden with 1,984 inhabitants in 2010. Örbyhus Castle is known for being the place where the former king Eric XIV of Sweden died on 26 February 1577 from arsenic poisoning. Libbarbo was a farm on the south side of the Örbyhus likely built in the 1200s. This was probably one of the only buildings in the area until the railway station building was built.
Libbarbo had its heyday in the 1820s when it was a tightly around the rural estate of significance. Libbarbo formed their own small community with many buildings and housed both maids, farmhands and several craftsmen. At Libbarbo was also a soldier beside Nosekomen. The structure of society Örbyhus began in 1874 with the railway’s emergence. Already in 1855 was appointed a railway committee to examine the route of the railway traction. This then decided that the North Main Line would be deducted from the Stockholm Uppsala to Gävle.
There were also plans to take the railway from Uppsala by Dannemora and Tobo to Gävle, thus linking the Dannemora mine with various iron works. The reason for that a station was built just in Örbyhus is very much about Baltzar von Platen’s power. He was at the time Count on Örbyhus goods. He was also minister and director of Maritime Affairs. The reason that the station does not is closer to the castle is that the railways had had to cross the Vendel Sea which was impossible with the technology of the future.
