Kristinehamn Municipality, Administrative municipality in Värmland County, Sweden

Kristinehamn Municipality covers 1,384 square kilometers of land and water, situated along the shores of Lake Vänern in west central Sweden.

The municipality formed in 1971 through the merger of Kristinehamn City with parts of Visnum and Väse rural municipalities, expanding its administrative reach.

The Värmlands Säby manor displays traditional Swedish architecture from the 1700s, featuring period-specific tiled stoves and painted wall decorations.

Residents can access municipal services at the new administrative building on Nya Kyrkogatan, which operates during standard business hours throughout the week.

The municipality houses a 15-meter tall concrete sculpture designed by Pablo Picasso in 1965, making it the second largest Picasso sculpture in the world.
