Location of World Heritage Sites within Sweden

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Sites are places of importance to cultural or natural heritage as described in the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, established in 1972.[1] The Kingdom of Sweden accepted the convention on 22 January 1985, making its historical sites eligible for inclusion on the lust. As of 2016, there are fifteen World Heritage Sites in Sweden, including thirteen cultural sites, one natural site and one mixed site.[2]

There are two transnational sites. The High Coast/Kvarken Archipelago is shared with Finland and the Struve Geodetic Arc is shared with nine other countries.[2]
