About the place

Living here

Sörtorp is a small built-up area (småort) in Alingsås municipality in Västra Götaland county, with 80 inhabitants. There are only a few things nearby.

Within three kilometres are Erska kyrka, Gräfsnäs slottscafé and a station at Gräfsnäs. There are also two playgrounds. A grocery shop, school and healthcare are not nearby, so expect to use a car to reach larger towns.

The area around the village has many older people: about three in ten are over sixty-five, while just under a quarter are under twenty.

Sörtorp suits someone who wants to live quietly and close to a castle and a railway station, without shops around the corner. Anyone who wants services within walking distance will have to look to a larger town.
