I know the video got a bit over exposed.

In the middle of central Karlskoga, high up on Rävåskullen, stands a cannon with 28 cm calibre. It is one of the largest guns manufactured by Bofors and was one of the 4 guns that the armoured ship Sweden was armed with. The Swedish people raised money for this ship in 1912, the fundraiser gave a total of 17.1 million Kr. ‎= USD 1,967.609.
  
‎ ‎
  ‎In early 1960, the armoured ship Sweden was scrapped and the cannon was donated to Karlskoga municipality. For Karlskoga's 400th anniversary in 1986, the cannon was picked up and placed on Rävåskullen which is a sand hill in the middle of town.
