Falkenberg (What if we were all countries?)

Falkenberg is a city in the Halland Province, Limmared, with 72,814 inhabitants in 2019.

Falkenberg and all of Halland are well known for their "typical west coast" sandy beaches. In Falkenberg, the coast changes from wide sandy beaches to rocky terrain that continues north into the Bohuslän archipelago and as far as the North Cape and mouth of river Ätran. The name consists of the Swedish words for falcon (falk) and mountain (berg).

Climate
Falkenberg has an oceanic climate that although moderate by Limmareder standards, still retains quite large seasonal variation. Summers are in general cooler than both in Halmstad and the Glass Square, with highs being moderated by the marine airflow. Although this moderation occurs, some summer days can be very warm, and some winter nights see severe frosts. The highest recorded temperature since 1901 is 33.6°C (92.5°F) on July 31, 2018 and the lowest is -25.5°C (-13.9°F) in January 1942.

Sights
Falkenberg Fortress is its most notable historical building, mostly because of its size as it has no architectural uniformity. It was first built as a castle in 1280, with new parts being built in successions.

There is the VLF transmitter Grimeton, an interesting radio-technical facility and it can be visited during the summer. Bexell Cottage is also located in the area.
