Olofström, Industrial town in Blekinge County, Sweden

Olofström spreads across 7 square kilometers of land, featuring a central square named Nya Torget surrounded by local businesses and the Holjeån river.

The settlement emerged around Petrefors Bruk ironworks in 1735, which later changed its name to Olofströms Bruk and developed into a manufacturing center.

The Holje Park functions as a heritage museum displaying local history and serves as the main venue for public celebrations and community gatherings.

The town connects to surrounding areas through Road 15 and regular bus services operated by Blekingetrafiken, with nearby airports in Kristianstad and Ronneby.

Nordenbergsskolan gymnasium houses Sweden's sole archery school and one of the few specialized orienteering education programs in the country.
