Tantolundens luftvärnsställning, Military fortification in Södermalm district, Stockholm, Sweden.

The defense installation contains four gun positions constructed of concrete and metal, positioned strategically to protect bridges across Lake Mälaren.

The fortification, established in 1939, served as an anti-aircraft defense post with Bofors 40mm guns operated by 47 personnel until 1945.

The structure represents Sweden's military preparation methods during World War II, when Stockholm maintained fifty anti-aircraft batteries around the city.

The installation spans an area of 135 by 65 meters and stands near walking paths, allowing visitors to examine the remaining defense structures.

Two wheeled automatic cannons type m/36 from Bofors required seven soldiers each to operate, with crews averaging 35 years of age.
