Limhamn Limestone Quarry
Highlight • Natural Monument
The quarry was opened in 1866, and it is one of the largest open-pit mines in Northern Europe, measuring 1300 by 800 meters, with a depth of 65 meters. A railway line connects the quarry to the cement factory in Limhamn port, with about two kilometers of the railway connection going in a tunnel (opened in 1968) to reduce air pollution. Mining of limestone in the quarry ceased in 1994."
Interesting fact: the base for the enormous Jezus-statue in Rio de Janeiro was made from limestone from this quarry. The quarry is now a nature reserve with rare plants and animals. A pair of eagle owls nest here since a few years.
