History

The old town Sigtuna has a natural place in Sweden’s history. According to legend, a strong giant (“kämpe” in Swedish) threw a large boulder (“sten” in Swedish) which landed on the shores of lake Mälaren. The boulder soon acquired the name of Kämpasten and this, in turn lent its name to the place several hundred years ago.

It is also said that chains were stretched between Kämpasten and a similar boulder on the other side of the lake to prevent enemy ships reaching Sigtuna.

Campus Kämpasten was built in 1982 with just one aim: to create the perfect environment for learning and meeting. Thousands of leaders have taken part over the years in various training programs for better leadership and more profitable business.

Kämpastenen, the boulder, will be found next to the jetty and the little house Båken.
