Boden Garrison

Boden Garrison is a military installation in Boden Municipality comprising barracks, administrative buildings, and training areas for different military branches. The facility includes specialized zones for artillery, infantry, and engineering operations along with extensive technical infrastructure.

Founded in 1907 as a fortress complex, this site evolved into a major training center for Swedish armed forces in the northern regions. The transformation reflects the modernization of the military throughout the 20th century.

The garrison shapes the local landscape through its visible structures and regular events that allow residents to experience Swedish military traditions firsthand. These gatherings help connect the installation with the wider community.

Visits are possible on designated open house days or during special tours announced in advance. The location sits in a cold climate region, so warm clothing and sturdy footwear are important for exploring outdoor areas.

This installation houses Sweden's only remaining artillery regiment, making it the country's largest military garrison. This concentration of different forces under single command is uncommon in Scandinavian military infrastructure.
