Marholmen has a long and proud tradition as a rest home for working women and men. In 1912, Nils and Hanna Berg donated the island to the Swedish Trade Union Confederation to give workers' wives and wives the opportunity to rest. A few years later, the activities were expanded to include a Folkbildningshem here on the island.
In 1983, the Swedish Union of Municipal Workers bought Marholmen from LO to build a leisure facility for its members. You can read more about the history of Marholmen here.
