Karlskoga Town

Located 45 kilometers west of Örebro, Karlskoga stretches across 510 square kilometers of land, encompassing forests, lakes, and residential districts.

The settlement originated in 1591 when Charles IX of Sweden established the region, which transformed from agricultural land to an industrial center through Bofors Works.

Alfred Nobel's former residence at Björkborn Manor now functions as a museum, documenting the connection between Karlskoga and the Nobel Prize foundation.

The municipality provides comprehensive public services to 30,261 residents through multiple administrative centers and maintains connections with nine international sister cities.

The Boda Borg activity center attracts over 100,000 visitors annually, while Gelleråsen Arena stands as Sweden's first permanent motor racing circuit.
