Welcome to Ljungby City – 90 Years

A city doesn’t come into being just like that from a decision. A city grows through the collective efforts, initiatives and ambitions of many people. The same is true of Ljungby.

Our way of highlighting this is with the games below that you can try to solve. Let it be the symbol of an emerging city, where nothing is given in advance and where you have to rethink and think anew as the city grows and changes.

Good luck!

What’s new at Minivärlden with the theme Ljungby City – 90 Years 2026?

Ljungby received its city rights in 1936 – 90 years ago – and this is being celebrated in various ways by Ljungby municipality, as well as by various associations and companies.

At Minivärlden Ljungby we contribute in our own way with various exhibitions. We celebrate Ljungby a little more broadly historically and don’t get stuck on 1936 itself. We think you should take the opportunity.

• A 1 x 1 m LEGO board meets you right as you enter after buying your ticket. It features a large collage of images from Ljungby’s history. Even today’s children will recognise some of the pictures. You can also read about how Ljungby became a town.
• This year’s competition at LEGO Fantasy has the theme “The Small Town”. Ljungby is the small town with all the fine things that entails. Talented LEGO artists have created their own interpretations.
• Viking village at Replösa – an exciting miniature world with tin figures on a larger scale. (A little older than 90 years, but still…). This is where it all started once upon a time.
• Ljungby’s old petrol stations in unique models. 1960s–70s. There were a large number of petrol stations here, and that was because at the time, just as today, Ljungby was geographically right in the middle of everything. Back then along National Road 1 (R1), today the E4 running north to south, crossed by Road 25 from west to east. Ljungby is still a natural place to stop and fill up the car.
• Thage’s old vending machine – packed with old Ljungby knick-knacks that remind you of days gone by. Many Ljungby residents have gathered here and talked about one thing and another. You can also learn more about the amusing history of the vending machine.
• A collection of local grocery bags, pouches, stickers and pennants from the past. A great collection from Peter Forsberg’s collections.
• A display with the Battle of Lund in 1676 – also tin soldiers and not 90 years old either, but Charles XI’s army marched up to Hamneda, moved down to Lund and defeated the Danes.
