Bankekind

Bankekind is a locality situated in Linköping Municipality, Östergötland County, Sweden with 405 inhabitants in 2010. Bankekind was earlier called Svinstad (ENG: Pigtown) but changed its name because of the pejorative connotations. It is known for its 13th-century church and the lake Svinstadsjön. It is primarily a commuter village but had its own nursery/ pre-school, primary school (school years, 0-3) and supported housing residence for the elderly.
