Fjällsätern
Fjällsätern is a minor mountain in southern Uddevalla, Sweden. Its summit reaches above sea level according to one 1950 estimate (an earlier one from 1903 put it at 300 Swedish feet), making it the area's second highest. There the local politician and publicist Ture Malmgren (1851–1922) began building his grand Tureborg Castle, today a ruin, in 1899. Along its slopes Malmgren constructed several other structures, among them the likewise faux-medieval summer residence Fjällhyddan, and his own would-be tomb. The area was once completely barren, but Malmgren – who was engaged in the tree-planting movement of that time – promised his wife Hilma that she would one day be able to walk beneath trees on Fjällsätern, and set about planting the thick forest of today. A nature reserve named after him, Ture Valleys, is situated on the mountain's eastern side. During the Second World War, Fjällsätern was used by the Swedish Armed Forces The Swedish Armed Forces ( sv, För ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tomb Of Ture Malmgren
The tomb of Ture Malmgren (referred to in Swedish as ''Tures grav'') is a structure located in Uddevalla, Bohuslän, Sweden. It is located by the foot of Fjällsätern, near the center of the residential district of Tureborg (which is named for Tureborg Castle, a ruin atop the mountain's summit). Carved into the sheer cliff face, it was intended as the final resting place of the local politician and publicist Ture Malmgren. Despite his own wishes, Malmgren was instead interred elsewhere after his death in 1922, effectively rendering the empty rock-cut tomb a cenotaph of sorts. History Ture Malmgren (born in 1851) is primarily known as the founder of the regional newspaper '' Bohusläningen'', which remains in publication today. Other than his career as a publicist and journalist, he maintained extensive business connections, and was involved in many fields of politics, often radical. Among other things, he was the first chairman of the Uddevalla Suffrage Association, chaired th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ture Valleys
Ture Valleys or Ture's Valleys ( sv, Ture dalar and ''Tures dalar'') is a nature reserve in the town of Uddevalla, Sweden. Located by the foot of the mountain Fjällsätern, on which Tureborg Castle stands, close to the Tureborg district, the area is named for Ture Malmgren (1851–1922), a prominent, wealthy and highly eccentric local politician and newspaper owner, once chairman of the Uddevalla city council and founder of '' Bohusläningen''. Originally proposed in 1979, a plan to survey the area was put in place in 1988, and the nature reserve was finally created in 1991. The nature reserve – administrated by Uddevalla Municipality, and about seven hectares large – is a popular hiking area. It consists of a very diverse landscape. In the north, Hålebäcken (A tributary of Bäveån) has cut through the calcareous soil, creating a system of ravines. In the south there is an alder marsh, running through a boulder-covered rift valley. The area is heavily forested, featu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tureholm (island)
Tureholm is a small and uninhabited artificial river island in Bäveån, which runs through the city of Uddevalla in Bohuslän, Sweden. It was created in the late 19th century or early 20th century by the local politician and publicist Ture Malmgren Ture Robert Ferdinand Malmgren (7 June 1851 – 3 August 1922) was a Swedish journalist, book publisher, and municipal politician. A prominent figure in his home Uddevalla, Malmgren became a colourful and well-known part of the city's history thr ... (1851–1922), close to his residence Villa Elfkullen. According to his newspaper '' Bohusläningen'' (writing many years after he died), the process of land reclamation took place because Malmgren enjoyed water, and wanted to be closer to the river. According to another author (who also notes that Malmgren would angle fish from Tureholm, where his "grandiose thoughts had free play"), it partially functioned as a wave breaker, preventing the ice of the late winters from pulling th ...

Fjällhyddan
Fjällhyddan (English: the Mountain Hut), also known as Jakthyddan (English: the Hunting Hut) and other variants of that name, was a building constructed in Uddevalla, Sweden, during the late 19th century. It was created by Ture Malmgren (1851–1922), a prominent – and highly eccentric – local businessman and politician. Today the building is a ruin. History Most likely Fjällhyddan's date of construction was somewhere around 1888, a year after Villa Elfkullen and about a decade before Tureborg Castle, its two companion structures. Malmgren, the wealthy founder of the regional Bohusläningen newspaper, as well as a radical politician and general philanthropist, was greatly inspired both by the Romantic nationalism, national romanticism of the era and the long travels of his youth. Journeying through the Rhine, Rhine Valley, he was captured by the region's grand medieval castles, and decided to build one of his own. As any lord of a castle, he would however first need a huntin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tureborg Castle
Tureborg Castle is a faux-medieval castle located in Uddevalla Municipality, Sweden, it sits atop a hill overlooking the neighbourhood of Tureborg . It was constructed during the late 19th century and early 20th century. Today a ruin after a fire in the 1950s, the castle remains a prominent landmark in Uddevalla.

The faux-medieval castle consisted of, among other things, almost forty different rooms, a great hall with rough stone pillars, several towers, balconies, and tall stone walls. Among the rooms were a bedouin-style room, a bowling alley, a music room with three p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Stone Age
The Stone Age was a broad prehistoric period during which stone was widely used to make tools with an edge, a point, or a percussion surface. The period lasted for roughly 3.4 million years, and ended between 4,000 BC and 2,000 BC, with the advent of metalworking. Though some simple metalworking of malleable metals, particularly the use of gold and copper for purposes of ornamentation, was known in the Stone Age, it is the melting and smelting of copper that marks the end of the Stone Age. In Western Asia, this occurred by about 3,000 BC, when bronze became widespread. The term Bronze Age is used to describe the period that followed the Stone Age, as well as to describe cultures that had developed techniques and technologies for working copper alloys (bronze: originally copper and arsenic, later copper and tin) into tools, supplanting stone in many uses. Stone Age artifacts that have been discovered include tools used by modern humans, by their predecessor species in the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
