"The Västervik Spirit"
Västervik has a long history, 2025 the city has 600 years anniversary and the neighboring town Gamleby 750 years. It is a part of ” Småland” ("small lands") which is a picturesque region in southern Sweden, known for its beautiful landscapes, including dense forests, sparkling lakes, and charming red-and-white houses. Historically, it was made up of twelve small provinces, which is reflected in its name.
The people of Småland, known as “Smålänningar” (“Smålanders”), are often described as resourceful, hardworking, and thrifty. This spirit embodies a unique blend of ingenuity, community-driven entrepreneurship, and practicality. This cultural ethos has given rise to globally recognized companies like IKEA and Husqvarna.
The “Västervik Spirit” is famous and best illustrated by the local artist Henry Gustafsson (1943-2005) sculptures.
