The 1664 grid
The old town is laid out in straight, regular blocks that slope toward the waterfront. This is one of the clearest planned patterns on Sweden's southern coast.

The map
About this Karlshamn map poster
Karlshamn was founded in 1664 under King Charles X Gustav, as part of Sweden's effort to strengthen its hold on newly acquired Blekinge. The town plan from that time still shows on the map. The old centre is a regular grid of blocks sloping down to the harbour, set within the uneven granite coast.
The Mieån river flows through the town into the harbour, dividing the grid with a soft curve. Offshore, the archipelago breaks into small islands and skerries. On one of them, Frisholmen, stands the Kastellet fortress, built to guard the harbour entrance. Karlshamn was also a departure port for emigrants, a history marked by a monument by the water.
A Karlshamn map poster has three parts: an orderly town, a winding river and a broken coastline. The lines are dense where the streets are, give way to smooth water, and scatter again into islands. It is an easy map to live with.

Mieån river
The river curves through the town to the harbour. It is the one irregular line that crosses the otherwise orderly centre.
Kastellet and the skerries
Offshore islands and rocks break up the water south of the town. The fortress island of Frisholmen guards the harbour approach.

Why Karlshamn
A map that means something
Karlshamn appeals to people who like a clear structure: a planned town, a sheltered harbour and islands beyond. It suits a summer house as well as a city flat, and makes a thoughtful gift for someone from Blekinge.
The title, subtitle and coordinates line are editable, so you can add a street, a date or a family name. Choose from five styles. Blueprint and Classic black & white both suit the harbour lines.
