Down from the Old Town by the riverbanks is the evocative Ostrov Slyoz, or “Island of Tears”. This is a memorial to Belarusians who lost their lives in battle, but particularly in remembrance of those that died in the Soviet Union’s war in Afghanistan in the 1980’s.

Embark on an interesting journey through time at the Brigade Museum, immersing yourself in the transformative years from 1945 to 1991, a period deeply influenced by the Cold War's impact on Sweden.

Visitors are transported back in time, gaining insight into the lives of people, the pervasive influence of politics on daily life, and the palpable atmosphere of living through the Cold War. The museum unveils the "Golden Age" of Swedish brigades during this period, showcasing cutting-edge armoured vehicles and weapon systems.
