World Heritage Karlskrona

Karlskrona's well-preserved architecture and city plan gave the city world heritage status in 1998. The city was founded in 1680 by King Charles XI. The need for a new base for the fleet was the basis for the decision. More than 330 years later, the naval base is still here, on Lindholmen - the very heart of the world heritage. There is a large selection of guided tours to book, or you can explore the world heritage on your own, at your own pace.
