Läckö Castle

Lidköping Municipality (Lidköpings kommun) is a municipality in Västra Götaland County in western Sweden. Its seat is located in the city of Lidköping.

Lidköping sometimes refers to itself as "Lidköping by Vänern", possibly to distinguish itself from the namewise (and historically) similar city of Linköping in eastern Sweden.

Geography

Lidköping Municipality is, together with its western neighbor Götene, located on the Läckö-Kinnekulla peninsula. There are several Vänern islands that belong to the municipality. One of them is Läckö, where the Läckö Castle is a notable sight.

Symbol

Lidköping is developing a profile plan to market itself as "Lidköping by Vänern" and to this end have established the use of a logo depicting its location by Vänern. This logo is used in all official contexts, and also on the road signs when entering Lidköping.
