In 1957, the then United Nations General Secretary Dag Hammarskjöld bought Backåkra as a summer home; sadly, he never lived there full-time. It serves (i.a.) as a museum and a monument to him. In 2018, there was a meeting of the UN Security Council held here - it is rare that they meet anywhere but in the headquarters building in New York.
