Ladonia, Sculpture garden and micronation in Kullaberg Nature Reserve, Sweden
Located on the western coast of Sweden, Ladonia encompasses wooden sculptures and stone formations spread across one square kilometer of rocky terrain.
Artist Lars Vilks established Ladonia in 1996 following legal conflicts with Swedish authorities regarding the construction of large driftwood sculptures named Nimis.
The Ladonian national anthem consists of the sound of stones thrown into water, while the official language contains only two words: waaaaalll and ÿp.
Visitors need to follow marked paths through Kullaberg Nature Reserve to reach the sculptures, as the location requires walking through forest and climbing rocks.
The territory functions as both an art installation and a self-declared nation, with over 22,000 registered citizens who do not reside within its borders.
