Every design for Nynäshamn

Where Södertörn ends and the sea begins lies Nynäshamn, a harbour town that once grew up as Stockholm's outer port on land belonging to the Nynäs estate. Its position furthest south gives the town an entirely distinct feeling: mainland and archipelago meet here, and ferries put out for the islands and wider waters.

Up on Vårdkasberget the view opens out over rooftops and boats, and down at Fagerviken and the sandy beach the town takes on its mild summer pulse. Anyone wanting a sense of how it all began will find the Nynäshamn railway museum, a memento of the days when the track tied the new harbour to the capital. Höjden and the local picture archive belong to the place's story too.

It is the interplay of harbour, rocks and open sea that makes Nynäshamn hard to confuse with anywhere else. The view from Vårdkasberget - that mixture of salt air and archipelago horizon - is exactly the kind of memory you gladly carry with you. A map of Nynäshamn across the chest becomes a small way of keeping that feeling close, long after the summer has ended.
