In 1998, the Naval Port of Karlskrona was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as an exceptionally well-preserved planned naval city. Here, the king’s 17th-century vision of an ideal naval city became reality. A place that, after more than 340 years, still fulfills its role and continues to evolve through advancements in marine engineering and urban planning.

The Agricultural Landscape of Southern Öland

In 2000, the Agricultural Landscape of Southern Öland was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as a unique example of how generations of farmers have shaped a landscape in close interaction with nature. Villages, fields, alvar plains, and wetlands together form a living agricultural landscape that reflects thousands of years of adaptation to the island’s natural conditions. A landscape that is still actively farmed today.
