The Varberg Radio Station at Grimeton in southern Sweden (built 1922–24)
uses an Alexanderson Alternator and was added to the UNESCO World Heritage
list on July 2, 2004.

It is an exceptionally well-preserved monument to early wireless
transatlantic communication consisting of the transmitter equipment,
including the aerial system of six 127-m high steel towers. Although no
longer in regular use, the equipment has been maintained in operating
condition.

The 109.9 hectre site comprises buildings housing the original Alexanderson
transmitter, including the towers with their antennae, short-wave
transmitters with their antennas, and a residential area with staff housing.

The architect Carl Ã…kerblad designed the main buildings in the neoclassical
style and the structural engineer Henrik Kreüger was responsible for the
antenna towers, the tallest built structures in Sweden at that time. The
site is an outstanding example of the development of telecommuni-cations
and is the only surviving example of a major transmitting station based on
pre-electronic technology.
