Notability
The Åtvidabergs Vagnfabrik (Wagon Factory), was founded in 1910 and constructed early cars. A total of 12 cars were made. They resembled the American carriage with large wheels.
The Åtvidaberg church "Stora Kyrkan" ("the Big Church") was built in the 1870s in neo-Gothic style. The remains of a 17th-century church were also of interest. It was rebuilt and is now functioning as a church again, "Gamla Kyrkan" ("the Old Church").
At the end of the 19th century almost one third of the population of Åtvidaberg Municipality in Sweden emigrated to Ishpeming, Michigan in the United States as copper mines in the Åtvidaberg area closed down. In 1994 this was commemorated by a plaquette at the Mormorsgruvan mine of Åtvidaberg.
At Eksäter, north of the railway, there is a statue representing David Drummond (1593-1638). He was for a time an officer at the Östgöta foot with residence in Slevringe outside Åtvidaberg. He later became colonel of Kalmar Regiment. David Drummond is the first known tobacco smoker in Sweden.[2]
