An urban cultural hub that blends in perfectly with the wild nature of the very North: Sara Kulturhus in the Swedish city of Skellefteå masters this balancing act with aplomb.
An urban hub close to the Arctic Circle? In Skellefteå – a city in the far north of Sweden – a high-rise building opened its doors in September 2021. From up on the 20th floor, visitors can marvel at the boundless vastness of the forests and the nearby archipelago in the Baltic Sea. Skellefteå is famous for its wild, unspoilt surroundings, the spectacular Northern Lights in the dark winter months and picturesque lakes and forests nearby. Recently, a new architectural landmark was also opened in Skellefteå.
