Geocache Description:

Under juli – augusti år 1719 härjade och brände ryssarna längs svenska ostkusten.

Denna serie av cachar vill påminna om hur Nyköping intogs och brändes den 25 juli.

The Russians harassed and burned The East Coast of Sweden in July year 1719.

The intention of this series of the geocache is to remind the history of Nyköping.


Vid sjutiden på söndag kväll den 26 juli kallas ryssarna till hamnen för avfärd. Under den korta tiden från lördag morgon och endast 18 timmar i Nyköping hann man bränna ned staden. Nyköping var inte den enda staden som drabbades utan plundring och bränning genomfördes av ryssarna längs hela Ostkusten ända från Gävletrakten ned till Norrköping under sommaren 1719. (Läs Magnus Ullman: Rysshärjningarna på Ostkusten sommaren 1719, 2006).

The Russian troops were ordered, on the Sunday evening about seven o´clock, to enter the crowded boats in the harbor and leave Nyköping. As a matter of fact, the Russians were able to burn down the town during only 18 hours. Nyköping was not the only town to be plundered and burned. Furthermore towns along the Swedish Eastcoast from Gävle in the North to Norrköping in the South were heavy affected during the summer 1719.
