Badis - a ghost of the past


Now abandoned to decay, Badis was once a hub of activity enjoyed by everyone from locals to film stars such as Ingrid Bergman. Built in 1937, the building features in Jan Jörnmark's book on abandoned places (http://www.jornmark.se/places.aspx) and in crime fiction writer Camilla Läckberg's latest book - Fyrvaktaren ('the lighthouse keeper'). In her book, Badis is restored to its old appearance to house a spa.

Badis' presence is prominent in Fjällbacka's townscape, particularly when seen from the sea.
