Nybro Municipality
Nybro Municipality (''Nybro kommun'') is a municipality in Kalmar County, south-eastern Sweden, with its seat in the town Nybro. The amalgamation of the ''City of Nybro'' (instituted in 1932) with its surrounding municipalities took place in 1969. The municipality was inhabited by a few hundred people until the railways came in the late 19th century, and the town Nybro was in its location between Kalmar on the east coast and Gothenburg on the west coast; later also on the railway from Kalmar and Malmö in the south-west.

National Heritage Site
A national heritage site is a heritage site having a value that has been registered by a governmental agency as being of national importance to the cultural heritage or history of that country. Usually such sites are listed in a heritage register that is open to the public, and many are advertised by national visitor bureaus as tourist attractions. Usually such a heritage register list is split by type of feature (natural wonder, ruin, engineering marvel, etc.). In many cases a country may maintain more than one register; there are also registers for entities that span more than one country.

Sites can be added to a list, and are occasionally removed and even destroyed for economic or other reasons.
