'''Hallstahammar Municipality''' ({{langx|sv|Hallstahammars kommun}}) is a [[municipalities of Sweden|municipality]] in [[Västmanland County]] in central [[Sweden]]. Its seat is located in the town of [[Hallstahammar]].

In 1971 "old" Hallstahammar (with the status of a ''[[köping]]'' since 1943) was amalgamated with parts of the dissolved ''Kolbäck'' rural municipality to form the present municipality of unitary type.

The municipal slogan is "''Bo hos oss''" ("Live with us"), which reflects the ambition of the present municipal leadership to boost population figures.

== Geography ==
The municipality is subdivided into two parishes: Hallstahammar-Berg and Kolbäck-Säby. They are distinctive from each other: Hallstahammar-Berg in the north is situated along forest lands; Kolbäck-Säby in the south is a centre of communications by roads and railways as well as the intersecting river. Strömsholm, in the southern part of Kolbäck, borders Lake [[Mälaren]] and has open fields around its Royal Castle.

== Demographics ==
This is a demographic table based on Hallstahammar Municipality's electoral districts in the [[2022 Swedish general election]] sourced from [[Swedish Television|SVT]]'s election platform, in turn taken from [[Statistiska Centralbyrån|SCB]] official statistics.<ref name=HallstahammarVal2022>{{cite web|url=https://valresultat.svt.se/2022/riksdagsval-1961-hallstahammar.html|title=Valresultat 2022 för Hallstahammar i riksdagsvalet|publisher=[[Swedish Television|SVT]]|language=sv|date=11 September 2022|accessdate=28 December 2023}}</ref>

== Communications ==
With train it takes 10 minutes to central [[Västerås]] (a larger city), and about an hour to the Central Station of [[Stockholm]]. It is also possible to travel straight south, passing the bridge over Lake [[Mälaren]] to the larger city [[Eskilstuna]]. Good car transport is provided by [[European route E18]] that passes between Kolbäck and Hallstahammar.

== Notable places ==
One of Sweden's foremost riding [[gymnasium (school)|gymnasiums]] is located in Strömsholm, as part of the [[Kantzowska Gymnasium]]. The Church of Kolbäck goes back to the 13th century and has interior decorations paid for by Queen Hedvig Eleonora in the 17th century. The Church of Säby was beautifully restored in the 1630s.
