Story

Ladonia is a micronation, proclaimed in 1996 as the result of a years-long court battle between artist Lars Vilks and local authorities over two sculptures. The claimed territory is part of the natural reserve of Kullaberg in southern Sweden.HistoryIn 1980, artist Lars Vilks began construction of two sculptures, Nimis and Arx, in the Kullaberg nature reserve in north-west Skåne, Sweden. The location of the sculptures is difficult to reach, and as a consequence they were not discovered for two years, at which point the local council declared the sculptures to be buildings, the construction of which was forbidden on the nature reserve, and demanded that they should be dismantled and removed.Vilks appealed the decision of the council, but lost. He appealed repeatedly, and finally the case was settled, in the council's favour, by the Swedish government. However, in the meantime Nimis had been bought from Vilks by the artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude after the death of Joseph Beuys, who bought it in 1984. On June 2, 1996 Vilks declared the microstate of Ladonia in protest of the local council.In 1999, another sculpture, Omphalos, was created. It was made of stone and concrete, 1.61 metres high and weighing a tonne. The Gyllenstiernska Krapperup Foundation, formed to promote art and culture, accused Vilks of building this sculpture and complained to the police, and in August 1999 the district court ordered its removal. The Foundation had also demanded the removal of Nimis and Arx, but the court ruled against it. The Foundation appealed this decision to the Supreme Court, who eventually ruled against it. The police were unable to positively identify Vilks as the sculptor, but the district court held that he was.

Beautiful place, be prepared to go down the mountain to get to the structure and then of course climb this mountain on the way back. It's worth it. Protect yourself from mosquitoes, nails and slippery ground. It is difficult to get around with small children, keep in mind.Tidpunkt för besökVardagVäntetidIngen väntetid
Crazy walk , crazy artist , crazy construction ,someone must take care A must in Sweden ..
Fantastiskt, väl värt 'vandringen', lite utmanande men även vår 4-åring fixade det med lite stöttning vissa partier.
Naturligtvis ett måste om man är ute på vandring i Kullabygden. Hit går man främst för naturen och vyernas skull. Kanske inte så mycket för själva konstverket. Dock ett ganska imponerande bygge, tveklöst. Vandringen ner till platsen kräver sin fysik. Trångt med mycket folk sommartid. Rekommenderas.
Värt mödan att gå dit.. Vilket arbete som är gjort.
Häftigt ställe, både natur- och kulturvärden. Ej så bra för små barn. Mycket att klättra. Ta med drivved.
Skön promenad i skogen, lite mer krävande sista biten. Väl värt besväret.
Very beautiful scenery and a rought walk down and up
One of the main touristic activities in this destination is a hike. You go from the top of a mountain to the beach where some of Vilk’s sculptures are located. This is a hard walk. You really need to take your time because the mountain is considerably steeper and the ground is very slippery. Despite its difficulty, this walk totally worth because there are very beautiful landscapes all around and when you get to the beach there are plenty of rocks where you can sit down, have some rest and enjoy nature. Highly recommended, just be sure of taking good hiking shoes and confortable clothes.
Häftigt att se detta bygge. Riktigt brant på sina ställen när vi vandrade dit och tillbaka. Kan vara bra att tänka på om man har småbarn med sig. Även det att skyddsräcken m.m. saknas. Absolut värt att ta sig hit!
