Skeninge is an older name for the little town
nowadays known as Skänninge.
The town, situated beside the small river Skenaån, is one of
Sweden's oldest towns and is known since 1187. In the 13th and 14th
centuries it was also one of the most important towns in our
country. Since then its importance has diminished and nowadays it's
not even a "kommun" of its own.
