Limmared combines glassmaking history, church architecture and a historic trail with a bathing spot at Lake Ösjön. When planning your stay, you can first decide whether cultural history, a longer walking route or time by the water should be the focus.

Glassmaking History and Architecture

Glasets Hus is a cultural centre in Limmared. The municipal culture website, updated on 29 April 2026, describes Limmareds Glasbruk as Sweden’s oldest glassworks still in operation. The glassworks was founded in 1740. Its founding year gives Limmared’s industrial history a clear point of reference.

Limmared Church and its parish hall were completed in 1957. Architect Martin Westerberg designed the church interior around the idea of a jewellery box. The image describes an architectural concept for the interior. Thus, both the long history of the glassworks and a specific idea for the design of a church interior take centre stage in Limmared.

Limmareds säteri adds another distinct time frame: its origins date back to the 14th century. The estate’s farm shop sells its own meat and other locally produced goods. Alongside learning about the history of the säteri, visitors can also include shopping for local produce in their stay.

Oxabanan and Time by the Water

Oxabanan is a 17-kilometre historic trail from Limmared via Tången to Hofsnäs. It passes through varied scenery and has an interesting history. There is parking at the starting point by Limmareds skjutbana; arrows marked Oxabanan point out the trail. Its route through three named places and its length provide a clear framework for planning the route.

At Lake Ösjön in Limmared, there is a bathing spot with changing rooms, a jetty, a raft, grassy areas, a barbecue area, and tables and benches. It offers a different focus from the 17-kilometre Oxabanan: here, bathing and facilities for spending time by the water take centre stage, while the trail follows a route through the landscape.

Behind Glasets Hus is Glasparken, a free activity park. It offers another option for adding an activity of your own to the itinerary.
