Since its designation as a World Heritage site, Grimeton Radio Station has undergone a series of changes. From previously being solely a commercial radio station, inaccessible to the public, it is today an open facility with a wide range of activities in addition to its still important radio operations. This work is made possible thanks to a variety of different stakeholders who contribute to making the site accessible and vibrant. Just your visit here for a tour, conference, or lunch is absolutely crucial, now and in the future. Beyond that, contributions of all sizes and forms are welcome.

Partnerships & Funding
World Heritage sites belong to us all, and for everyone to feel a sense of belonging and for the sites to remain interesting and relevant, it is important that many people participate in the work. World Heritage Grimeton works in various ways to include a variety of stakeholders.
The World Heritage site also hosts a range of different events and collaborations with cultural practitioners to offer a varied program of activities throughout the year that attracts different audiences.
The work is carried out and financed with the help of companies, organizations, private individuals, and others who in various ways want to support this unique place.
The more contributors, the greater the opportunities to develop and bring the site to life. Since we know that the reasons for collaborating with us are many, we look forward to hearing from you to see where we can meet.
“A World Heritage site belongs to everyone! That’s why we at Varbergs Sparbank feel great pride and certainty in being a long-term partner to the Grimeton World Heritage site. Over the next five years, we are contributing 15 million Swedish kronor through the Sparbank Foundation to make Grimeton a visitor destination suitable for all ages. We contribute to activities that make it possible for all of us to understand the significance of Grimeton and our shared history. We also believe that Grimeton’s development adds a lot to a more vibrant countryside. Thank you for the great job you do in preserving and telling our shared history.”

“With its six towers, the radio station at Grimeton is an exceptionally well-preserved monument of early wireless communication, and it is a well-known landmark in Halland. The radio station is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with, for example, the Pyramids of Egypt. The facility is also located in an area designated as a national cultural heritage site. The radio station and its surrounding area are also protected as a monument. Halland County Council is a proud partner of the radio station, which addresses a wide audience and tells the story of wireless communication in an informative and enjoyable way. Here, work is ongoing to use, develop and preserve cultural heritage. The County Council is one of several agencies that actively work with and are responsible for cultural environments and cultural heritage in the county. Halland County Council is represented on the board of the Grimeton World Heritage Foundation.”
