Käppalaställningen

Käppalaställningen, Anti-aircraft position in Käppala, Lidingö, Sweden.

Käppalaställningen is a WWII anti-aircraft position in Käppala on southern Lidingö, made up of several machine-gun emplacements and three gun emplacements. All the emplacements for guns, machine guns, searchlights and fire control remain intact, and a 75 mm m/30 gun stands on its cross mount, donated by Bofors.

Construction of the Käppala position began in 1939, and with its 75 mm anti-aircraft guns it was among the most heavily armed batteries around Stockholm. It stood on Lidingö as the last outpost facing east. In May 1994 the restored position was reopened, with a donation from Stockholms Luftvärnsförening, as a protected monument to Stockholm's air defence.

The site is a k-marked monument to Stockholm's air defence, restored and reopened in May 1994 with a donation from Stockholms Luftvärnsförening. A 75 mm m/30 gun donated by the manufacturer Bofors stands on its cross mount, though graffiti and damage on the piece show it is exposed to vandalism.

The position lies in the Käppala district of southern Lidingö, reachable from Stockholm by public transport toward Lidingö. All emplacements for guns, machine guns, searchlights and fire control remain intact, while one shelter is sealed. Look for the m/30 gun on its cross mount, donated by Bofors; graffiti and damage on the piece show it stands outdoors.

The site is k-märkt, a Swedish heritage designation, and is described as unique in Sweden as a monument to Stockholm's air defence. The anti-aircraft gun on its cross mount was donated by the manufacturer Bofors, and today the two chimneys of the Käppala plant stand in its field of fire.
