Sk 47 (Skyddsrum) is a Swedish civil defense bunker located near the town of Eslöv in southern Sweden. Built during the Cold War era, this underground shelter was designed to protect civilians in the event of a nuclear attack or other major crisis. Sweden maintained an extensive network of such bunkers during the Cold War as part of its total defense strategy.
The bunker represents the Swedish approach to civil defense, which emphasized preparedness for both military and civilian emergencies. These facilities were typically equipped with basic survival provisions, ventilation systems, and reinforced concrete structures to withstand blast effects. The Sk 47 designation follows the Swedish system for identifying civil defense installations.
Today, many Cold War-era bunkers in Sweden have been decommissioned or repurposed, though some remain as historical reminders of the period when neutral Sweden prepared extensively for potential conflicts during the East-West standoff.
