Ronneby stad

Ronneby is a coastal town in Blekinge County in southern Sweden that encompasses several smaller urban settlements and significant water areas. The municipality spans across forests and agricultural land with multiple harbors and coastal zones.

The modern municipality was formed in 1967 when the city of Ronneby merged with three neighboring communities to streamline administration. This consolidation shaped the territory's current size and structure.

The town serves as a gathering place for the region, with local markets and craft workshops that shape daily life in the area. Its center reflects how people have organized commerce and trades throughout generations.

The town is easily accessible by public transport and offers several museums, parks, and coastal attractions to explore. Visitors can find information on the municipality's official website, which also provides practical guidance for travelers.

Divers discovered the wreck of the Gribshunden, a Danish warship from the 15th century, which is one of the most intact vessels from that era. The discovery represents a rare example of medieval shipwreck exploration and recovery.
