Skillingaryd military range

Skillingaryd military range is an extensive training area in Vaggeryd Municipality that includes firing ranges, exercise fields, and buildings dedicated to armed forces training. The facility is divided into different zones where various types of military exercises and operational training take place.

The facility was established in 1865 and has served as a training ground for Swedish armed forces since then. It has maintained its operational importance over more than 150 years and has continuously adapted to evolving military needs.

The range includes preserved military structures that demonstrate the evolution of Swedish military architecture and training methodologies since the 19th century.

The area is subject to active military operations and security regulations, which means public access is limited. Visitors should check local information before visiting and observe any access restrictions in place.

The range combines both modern military training capabilities and protected heritage buildings, reflecting its dual status as an active facility and historical site.
