Mariestad is a historic town located on the eastern shore of Lake Vänern, Sweden's largest lake, in the Västra Götaland region. Founded in 1583 by Duke Charles, who named it after his wife Marie of Palatinate-Simmern, the town served as an important administrative center and became the seat of a diocese in the 16th century.

The town's cultural heritage is reflected in its well-preserved wooden architecture, particularly in the old town area, and its landmark cathedral dating from the 1600s. Mariestad has traditionally been a center for crafts and trade, with its location on Lake Vänern playing a significant role in its development. Today, the town maintains its historical character while functioning as a modern municipality, combining cultural preservation with contemporary life.
