Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Hovs Hallar as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

Named here by Hovs Hallar’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Hovs Hallar, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

• The Seventh Seal 1957

  “Hovs Hallar is also famous as the filming location for the opening scenes of the classic Ingmar Bergman film The Seventh Seal, with the Knight challenging Death to a game of chess for his life on the shoreline, and the closing scene with the Dance Macabre against a stormy sky.” Wikipedia
