context_page_description: Mariefred is a locality situated in Strängnäs Municipality, Södermanland County, Sweden with 3,726 inhabitants in 2010.
  The name is derived from that of the former Carthusian monastery here, Mariefred Charterhouse, and means "Peace of Mary". It lies roughly 50 kilometres west of Stockholm.
  Mariefred, despite its small population, is for historical reasons often still referred to as a city. Statistics Sweden, however, only counts localities with more than 10,000 inhabitants as cities.
  Gripsholm Castle is located in the town. Adjacent to the castle is the nature reserve and deer park Gripsholms hjorthage.
  The old barn of Gripsholm Castle was a centre for fine arts printmaking, Grafikens Hus.
  The East Södermanland Railway has a railway museum here with one of the finest collections of 600 mm narrow-gauge passenger railcars anywhere.
  Kurt Tucholsky is buried in the town cemetery.
