Over 100 Years of Communication

More than a hundred years ago, everything changed. Suddenly, it was possible to communicate lightning-fast with people far, far away. Back then, it happened with gigantic facilities and Morse code. Now, with smartphones and 5G. Then, it often involved declarations of love and death notices. Now, it’s largely about sharing reels and interacting with the whole world. Grimeton Radio Station, Varberg, is the last of these gigantic facilities, which is why the site was designated a World Heritage site in 2004. This is the best place in the world to experience and understand the development of wireless communication!

A place important for all humanity and the future. By caring for, using, and developing it together, we contribute to a better and kinder world.

In the Dining Hall this fall & winter

In the Dining Hall at the Grimeton Radio Station World Heritage Site, you can sit down for a coffee break during the Visitor Center’s opening hours. On selected days, we also offer lunch, and for pre-booked groups, conferences, and events, it is possible to order refreshments and meals as part of the visit.

Our food concept Poultry, fish, or something in between continues into the fall, with a focus on flavor, variety, and seasonal ingredients.

See the Dining Hall page for current offerings and information about group and conference bookings.

Technology Thursdays Aug 9–27

Experience world-class tech history – from engineering to living radio magic

For those looking for a truly special experience, we recommend visiting us on Thursdays this summer to experience a Transmitter Startup (approx. 40 min) — a powerful demonstration where the Alexander Association’s operators set the historical machinery in motion. When the transmitter is brought to life, you don’t just hear history — you feel it vibrating through the room.

Begin the experience with an in-depth guided tour during the Technical Shift (approx. 60 min), concluding with the Transmitter Startup.

The operators at the amateur radio station SK6SAQ aim to be on-site during these days.
