Vittaryd is a locality situated in Ljungby Municipality, Kronoberg County, Sweden with 318 inhabitants in 2010.[1]

Several of the older houses in the centre of the village predate the industrialisation of Europe. Currently, however, economic activity is concentrated on manufacturing, with a house door factory and a car parts plant as the two largest employers.

Education

[edit]

The town has a school, which was threatened with closure as part of a plan to reduce the number of rural schools to balance the municipality's budget. By February 2025, an agreement was reached which allowed Vittaryd's school to continue operating.[2]
