Flen Municipality (Flens kommun) is a municipality in central Södermanland County in southeast Sweden. Its seat is located in the city of Flen.
The present municipality was formed in 1971 through the amalgamation of the City of Flen (instituted in 1949), the market town (köping) Malmköping and the surrounding countryside, including a southeastern portion of the former Oppunda hundred that was split between Flen and Nyköping municipalities. It also includes all of the former Villåttinge hundred.
Geography
Flen Municipality is a lowland inland municipality that falls to 19 metres (62 ft) above sea level on the lakes of Långhalsen and Torpfjärden in the southeastern area.[3] The highest peak is at 103 metres (338 ft) on the tripoint between Flen, Gnesta and Strängnäs municipalities.[4]
