LIDINGÖAR – A BOOK ABOUT ALL THE ISLANDS, BRIDGES THAT BELONGS TO LIDINGÖ
The book is intended to be a cultural-historical journey across Lidingö’s nearby neighboring islands, all of which have intriguing histories. For the first time, all the islands surrounding Lidingö are described together. Read about the nearby islands of Stora Höggarn, Sveriges Holme, Danmarks Holme, Fjäderholmarna, Tranholmen, Storholmen, Duvholmen, and Svanholmen – as well as the outer archipelagos of Björkskär, Lilla Nassa, and Västerö, which are owned by the City of Lidingö. The book also contains exciting chapters about the bridges around Lidingö that have existed and those that never did – and secret events that took place at Elfvik. All these islands and places have a special and fascinating history. Important naval battles between Nordic war fleets have been fought here, secret spy centers operated during wartime, and houses were built and inhabited by wealthy men – who later went bankrupt. Also read about grand projects that were meticulously planned over decades – only to never come to fruition.
THE BOOK IS CURRENTLY ONLY AVAILABLE IN SWEDISH
