The small Swedish town of Göten is selling land for just 1 krona (€0.08) per square metre to attract new residents and counter its aging population and low birth rate.

Göten, with about 5,000 residents, welcomes anyone interested in buying plots, though legal residency in Sweden is likely required.

Buyers must start building on their land within two years, or the land reverts to the municipality.

This initiative aims to encourage families to build homes despite the current economic situation.

Göten is a popular tourist destination, known for attractions like the Romanesque church Husaby Kyrka, the historical Martorpsfallet waterfall, and the wildlife area Österplana Hed och Vall.

Since the campaign started, three plots have been sold, and more people have shown interest.

The campaign will run through 2024 and 2025, after which it may end if the economy improves.
