A fire has broken out in Skärva Manor, which is part of the World Heritage Site Örlogsstaden Karlskrona.

We have a fully developed fire in one part of the property, says an operator at the rescue service's control center to Blekinge Läns Tidning.

According to the newspaper's photographer, the fire is not in the main building but in a building behind.

The alarm about the fire came at around 18:30 on Sunday.

Three people have been checked by ambulance personnel but they did not need to be taken to the hospital, according to the rescue service.

Skärva Manor has been a listed building since 1976.
