So my friends in Sweden took me here some years ago.
I wouldnt say its "beautiful" exactly, but for sure the view from the shoreline is quite nice. It's def top five WEIRDEST place i've ever been to in my life. It would def help to be a bit fit if you want to get in (and definitley if you want to get back out!) as its located at the bottom of a steep hill
"Nimis (from the
latin, "too much") is a
site-specific artwork by
Lars Vilks located at Håle stenar in the north western region of
Skåne, Sweden, in the declared micronation
Ladonia. The artwork mostly consists of wooden constructions erected of
driftwood,
planks and
branches. The work is illegally placed in
Kullaberg, which has led to an ongoing legal process between the artist and
the Skåne County administrative board. Parts of the artwork have been set on fire on different occasions, and it was rebuilt after a fire in 2016 by
Ladonia's Art and Jumping Minister, Fredrik Larsson.
[1] This rebuilding led to a fine being issued in 2018 by
a district court.
Vilks viewed
Nimis as
a conceptual piece of art and the legal issues were hence a part of the concept. Since 1986 the artwork has been owned by the artist couple
Christo and Jeanne-Claude. Vilks also claimed that the artwork was placed in the
microstate Ladonia.
[2] In the same area is also another one of Vilks artwork located,
Arx.
Nimis was built by driftwood and is made of sparingly nailed together boards and branches which forms pathways, rooms and towers. The construction of
Nimis began in July 1980 as Vilks "revenge to the ocean" after having been close to drowning. But also as a comment to the current trend in art where "nothing lasted"
