The old Spångbergsbadet was inaugurated in 1971, but in March 2019 it had to be closed due to the risk of a landslide. 

Renovating would cost SEK 100 million, building a new one would cost tens of millions more.

Many of Sweden's and Värmland's bathhouses were built during the same period during the 60s and 70s and need to be either renovated or demolished.

In Värmland, several municipalities have already made major investments, most recently in Säffle, where they invested SEK 236 million in their new bathhouse.

In the clip, you can hear the municipality's technical manager Inge Nilsson Piehl and municipal councilor Åsa Hååkman Felth (S) talk about the bathhouse plans, how they are to be paid for and when Filipstad residents can have a bathhouse again.
