About Bromma
What are the main landmarks in Bromma?
Greenery and the airfield define it. Stockholm Bromma Airport, opened in 1936, still flies from the western flats, while the nature reserve of Judarskogen and the manor grounds of Åkeshovs slott give room to walk. The round medieval church of Bromma kyrka stands among them.
Modern parish churches such as Abrahamsbergskyrkan and the Kyrkan vid Brommaplan serve the suburbs.
What is the history of Bromma?
Settlement here is old and new at once. A medieval parish grew around the round church, and runestones still stand in the fields, but the Bromma most people see took shape between the wars, when garden suburbs of pale functionalist houses were laid out along new tram lines. The airport followed in the nineteen-thirties.
Farmland became one of the city's greener corners.
Where is Bromma?
The district covers western Stockholm in eastern Sweden, joined by bridge to Kungsholmen in the east and reaching toward Ekerö across the water to the south-west.
