Over 100 Years of Communication

More than a hundred years ago, everything changed. Suddenly, it became possible to communicate instantly with people far, far away. Back then, it was done with gigantic installations and Morse code. Now with smartphones and 5G. Then it was often about 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 installations, and that’s why the site was designated a World Heritage Site in 2004. This is the best place in the entire world to experience and understand the development of wireless communication!

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