Limhamns kalkbrott

Limhamns kalkbrott (Limhamn limestone quarry) or Kalkbrottet (the limestone quarry) is situated near Malmö, in the borough of Limhamn-Bunkeflo, Malmö Municipality, Skåne County, Sweden.

A railway line connected the quarry to a cement factory in the port of Limhamn.

In 1968 about two kilometers of the railway was placed in a tunnel to reduce air pollution.

Pumping that is maintained to this day prevents the quarry from turning into a lake.

The open pit is a municipal nature reserve since 2011, notable for one of very few populations of the European green toad remaining in Sweden.
