Overview

A self-guided walking tour game, based on the true storey of Malin Matsdotter and the Stockholm witch trials.

The Stockholm witch trials culminated in 1676. Malin Matsdotter was one of many women accused and sacrificed through public executions, but the only one to be burned alive.

Walk through Stockholm as it was 300 years ago and visit several historical sites at Södermalm. Your narrator is twelve-year-old Gertrud, who lived next door to Malin. She is worried that history might repeat itself and wants to share Malin’s storey with you.

This tour is self-guided via a GPS-based app downloaded to your smartphone. When you buy the tour you receive an email with instructions on how to download the app which serves as your guide and narrator. Listen to the storey while you walk. Sounds, illustrations, and game elements are triggered to show up on your mobile screen when you get close to them.

This experience is completely flexible: you can start, pause and end it whenever it suits you.

Activity itinerary

Olle Adolphsons park
  • 5m
The tour starts in this little park with a beautiful view of Stockholm and the water below. When you get here, open the StoryTourist app and start the Stockholm Witch Trials tour. You will be greeted by your digital guide, 12-year-old Gertrud. She used to live next-door to Malin Matsdotter in the 1670's, and is worried that history might repeat itself.
St. Mary Magdalene Church
  • 5m
Gertrud takes you to see the church from across the road and tells you about the historic significance of religion, and the impact the church had on the women accused of witchcraft.
Stockholm City Museum
  • 5m
You'll stop outside the museum, which was used as the southern city hall and court house during the 1600's. This is where people accused of witchcraft were brought to face trial. Among those people were Malin Matsdotter.
Mosebacke Torg
  • 5m
Visit this square that dates back to medieval times, when there was a windmill here. Several of the women of Gertrud's storey lived in this area. Anna Månsdotter was another of the accused women, and Lisbet Carlsdotter was one of the young maids who fabricated stories about neighbour women kidnapping children and bringing them to meet the Devil.
Katarina Kyrka
  • 10m
Visit this beautiful church from the 1600's, which was at the centre of events during the witch trials. Many of the church congregants were involved in the events of the trials. Some of them were among the accusers and some were accused of being witches.
Katarina Östra Kyrkogårdsgränd
  • 5m
Visit the location where the locals set up a "watch house" during the mass hysteria of the witch trials period. Parents gathered with their children in the watch houses to keep watch over the children and keep them safe from witches supposedly coming to kidnap them.
Åsögatan
  • 5m
Gertrud takes you to the location where the "Boy from Gävle" lived in the 1670's. He was supposedly the child who started spreading the rumours and mass hysteria about witches in Södermalm.
Anna Lindhagens tappa
  • 10m
This little park is placed at the top of what used to be called Gallow's mountain, where public executions were held during the 1500-1600's.
