Värmlands nation, Student association house in Uppsala, Sweden
Värmlands nation is a large brick building in Uppsala designed by architect Ragnar Östberg that serves as a gathering hub for students. Inside you will find a medieval cellar pub, study areas, a library, and multiple rooms for social events and meetings.
This nation was founded in 1660 as a meeting place for students arriving from the Värmland and Dalsland regions of Sweden. Over the centuries it became a central institution for both academic and social life among the student body.
Members participate in activities through various groups including a choir, football club, dance ensemble, and contribute to the Wermlandus newspaper publication.
The location is easy to reach from Uppsala University and sees visitors throughout the day, with the most activity happening in the evenings. Student members can find housing options in nearby buildings including corridor rooms at Phyllebo and apartments near Ekonomikum park.
The organization distributes annual scholarships worth around 2 million Swedish crowns to support the academic goals of its members. This financial support for studies is a rare feature among Swedish student associations and demonstrates a strong commitment to member success.
