Ljusnarsberg Municipality

Ljusnarsberg Municipality is a municipality in Örebro County in central Sweden, covering hilly terrain with Kopparberg as its administrative center. The territory spans across forested landscape and is cut through by several streams and rivers.

The municipality was established in 1971 through reorganization of earlier administrative areas, following a long tradition of copper mining and iron works. This mining heritage shaped the economic development and settlement of the region over centuries.

The region maintains strong industrial traditions through its operational brewery and fiber products manufacturing facilities, which employ many local residents.

The area is easily reached by public transport and road connections to neighboring towns and offers visitors access to local dining and shopping options. Those interested in nature can find numerous hiking trails and water areas for relaxation.

The municipal coat of arms shows a blue stream with copper marks and flames, pointing back to the mining heritage from the 1600s. This symbol is preserved today as an identity mark of the local history.
