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.

Our Mission – A Better World

Our mission is to care for Grimeton Radio Station for future generations. We do this because the site is important for all humanity. It, like other World Heritage Sites, reminds us that there is more that unites us as people than divides us. This, we believe, as does UNESCO, is a prerequisite for creating a better and more peaceful world.

Grimeton Radio Station is managed by a non-profit foundation. All purchases you make here and contributions we receive go entirely toward the work of caring for and making the site accessible.
