Sight 10: Skanskvarns luftvärnsställning
Skanskvarn's anti-aircraft position in Stockholm was located in the district of Årsta on the hill north of Gullmarsvägen, about 400 meters west of Gullmarsplan and above the allotment association Stugan. The facility consisted of foxholes and gun emplacements as well as tank obstacles. The facility was in a "live situation" during the years of preparedness from 1939 to 1945. The main task of Skanskvarn's anti-aircraft position was to defend the Skansbron and Skanstull bridges as well as the important railway connection Årstabron. If the defenses had collapsed, the idea was to blow up the Årsta Bridge before the enemy could use it. Today (2011) there are two distinct play sites left, while the rest have been demolished or closed. The name derives from the nearby Skanskvarn.
