Urban Hjärne

Urban Hjärne was active in several different areas where his modern conception of science interacted with an age-old natural science.

He was very interested in hydrotherapy and is known for having founded Sweden's first spa Medevi, north of Motala.

In 1676, Hjärne became a member of a commission investigating witchcraft. He worked towards reducing and, eventually putting an end to the witch trials in Stockholm.
