Nysäter is a small town in the municipality Saffle in the Swedish province of Värmland County. He was regarded early on as a major hub between the waterways of Lake Vänern and Glafsfjorden and the highway Oslo - Karlstad. By Nysäter the Säfflekanal flows.

There is the place archaeological monuments from the Iron Age and the period after the birth of Christ. Four large tumuli, such as the Olafshögen with a diameter of 40 meters, can be found here on the banks of Bräven. Under the hill Olaf the grave of a friend of King Olav Trätälja should lie, what is, however, claimed by two other hills in Högsäter and Saffle.
