In the small town of Mjölby, located in Östergötland County, lies one of Sweden’s most unusual and charming traffic circles: the Potato Roundabout. This small but fascinating roundabout is not only a functional traffic solution but also a tribute to one of the country’s most important agricultural products.
The Potato Roundabout (or potatisrondell) is known for the striking statue in the center of the roundabout, which depicts a giant potato. It was built to celebrate and highlight Mjölby’s historical connection to potato cultivation and trade. The town has also hosted several potato-related events over the years, and this roundabout has become a symbol of both local pride and a touch of humor.
An added delight is that every year, the potato in the center of the roundabout changes shape for Christmas.
