Every design for Olofström

In north-western Blekinge, some way in from the coast, lies Olofström – a place once called Holje by and today the main town of its municipality. The forest landscape of the north meets a rather quiet small-town daily life here, with a sense of being both surrounded by nature and close to what you need.

For anyone strolling about there is unexpectedly much to look at more closely. The Camera and Gallows museum draws the curious, while the Brocenter car and vehicle museum attracts everyone taken with old engines and gleaming metal. If you want to understand how people lived and worked in the past, the Olofström heritage museum is where the stories sit in the walls.

It is exactly that mixture of industrial inheritance, museum visits and calm that makes Olofström a place you remember. Anyone who has once wandered between the rows at the vehicle museum and then taken a turn through the centre often carries something away – a sense of a town that does things its own way. Keeping the map of Olofström close is a way of holding on to that feeling, wherever you are.
