Kungl. The Vitterhetsakademien has granted funds from the Lars Lawski Fund for the conservation of cultural heritage buildings. The Grimeton World Heritage Site is one of sixteen projects deemed to be of great cultural and historical value, all of which are accessible to the public, and has thus been awarded SEK 1 million of the total SEK 23 million the Fund has chosen to support to promote Swedish cultural heritage conservation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

– This million is very welcome and we are so glad that the Vitterhetsakademien sees the value of preserving the radio station’s unique buildings. The two smaller outbuildings are a bit like the “icing on the cake” for the area, they fulfill their function but aesthetically deviate from the otherwise fine and well-preserved environment. This is also the reason why in the past they have always been downgraded in favor of other higher priority maintenance projects. We had applied for funds to be able to restore both buildings to their former glory, the funds that we have now received are a good addition to start this work and at least finish one of the houses, says World Heritage Grimeton’s CEO Camilla Lugnet.<\/p>\n
