Storia e fari a Strömstad

Strömstad's Best History & Lighthouses

Strömstad’s coastal landscape is defined by its maritime navigation history and Iron Age heritage. This collection features the six-meter-high Grönehög burial mound, one of the region’s largest tumuli, alongside a network of historic lighthouses including Nord-Hällsö and Likholmen. Cultural insights are found at the Fiskartorpet open-air museum, which preserves traditional fishing cottages, and the Strömstad Museum, which details the town’s evolution from a 17th-century spa destination to a vital maritime hub.
