Skånes mittpunkt, Geographical center marker in Norra Rörum, Sweden.
Skånes mittpunkt is the geographical center of the Skåne region, marked by a steel sculpture called Mittelen that sits in the countryside. The structure combines a circular millstone made from local sandstone with a metal framework that frames the sky above.
The Mittelen monument was erected in 2002 after modern calculations determined the precise geographical center of the Skåne region. This discovery moved the center point roughly 12 kilometers north from a traditional windmill site that had previously held symbolic status.
The Mittelen sculpture serves as a meeting point where locals and visitors come together to acknowledge the geographical heart of the region. The site carries symbolic value for those interested in understanding Skåne's sense of place.
The site sits in open countryside and is easily accessible by car with parking available nearby. There is little shade in the immediate surroundings, so visitors planning to stay should bring sun protection.
The millstone component of the sculpture is made from Höör sandstone, a stone that formed roughly 250 million years ago. This ancient material predates the stones later used to construct Lund Cathedral.
