BOAFALL'S HISTORY

A few years ago, the house did not formally exist. Boafall was a secret military radar station during the Cold War. See the picture of the old radar station above.

In the late 1960s, the Swedish military built a secret radar station on top of Boafall Hill, which at 180 metres above sea level is the highest point in southern Sweden.

In this connection, our building was constructed in 1970 as living quarters for the radar station crew.

Until the end of the Cold War, permanent staff and around 30 conscripts lived here. The radar tower itself was located 500 metres further up the forest road past the house 'Älgen 106'.

Locally, the radar tower was known as 'the secret installation'. With the end of the Cold War in the early 1990s, the radar station was closed and finally in 1999 it was completely demolished. What was left was our house.
