Lessebo Municipality

Lessebo Municipality is a municipal district in Kronoberg County in southern Sweden, covering forested areas with many lakes scattered throughout. The region consists of several settlements of varying sizes, each serving different functions within the broader community.

The municipality took its current form in 1971 when three surrounding areas merged with the market town of Lessebo. This consolidation created a larger administrative center in a region with deep roots in craftsmanship and manufacturing.

Glass production shapes the identity of this area, with Kosta Glasbruk demonstrating how artisans continue traditional techniques passed down through generations. Walking through the workshops, you witness the skill and patience that define local craftsmanship and pride.

The area has several centers of different sizes, so directions or a map help when navigating between them. Most visitors explore using a car, as public transportation options are limited throughout the region.

The area is home to one of Europe's few remaining commercial hand paper mills, producing specialized paper since the 1600s. This traditional workshop demonstrates how old production methods remain alive and functioning today.
