Lessebo Municipality

Lessebo Municipality extends across 456 square kilometers of southern Sweden, encompassing dense forests and 60 lakes within its boundaries.

The municipality established its current form in 1971 through the merger of three surrounding territories with the market town of Lessebo.

The region contains multiple glass production facilities, including Kosta Glasbruk, which operates as Sweden's oldest glassworks and maintains traditional crafting methods.

Four main urban areas compose the municipality: Hovmantorp with 3000 residents, Lessebo with 2800, Kosta with 900, and Skruv with 500 inhabitants.

The municipality houses one of Europe's remaining commercial hand paper mills, which has produced specialized paper products since 1693.
