Brattforshedens krigsflygfält

Brattforshedens krigsflygfält, Military aviation museum in Karlstad Municipality, Sweden

Brattforshedens krigsflygfält is an aviation museum in Karlstad Municipality with preserved World War II structures including concrete machine gun posts, camouflaged hangars, and an operational runway set in forest landscape. The site features multiple hiking trails and an observation tower offering panoramic views of the surroundings.

Construction of Krigsflygfält 16, also designated skansanläggning 112, began in September 1939 and was completed in June 1940, one of 40 wartime airfields built in Sweden between 1939 and 1945. Anti-aircraft and rifle positions were arranged in four resistance nests with 27 aircraft shelters, classed A, B and C by aircraft type. It became a cultural reserve in 2003 and joined the Sveriges militärhistoriska arv network on 1 January 2009.

The site is part of Sweden's military-historical heritage network (SMHA) under the National Historical Museums (SFHM) since 1 January 2009. It became a cultural reserve in 2003, and the original field area is partly used for private aviation as Brattforshedens flygfält.

The site lies about ten kilometres east of Molkom in Värmland County, on Brattforsheden. A small part of the original field surface is still used for private aviation as Brattforshedens flygfält. The wartime field became a cultural reserve in 2003, and since 1 January 2009 it has belonged to the Sveriges militärhistoriska arv network under Statens försvarshistoriska museer.

The field was designated Krigsflygfält 16, also called skansanläggning 112, and was built between September 1939 and June 1940. Around the airfield, four resistance nests held anti-aircraft and rifle positions with 27 aircraft shelters, divided into A, B and C types according to aircraft type. Since 1 January 2009 it has belonged to the network Sveriges militärhistoriska arv.
