Kenth's lists of European Carp Waters.
Even though I live in Copenhagen, Denmark, only some 30 - 50 kilometers from some of the good swedish carpwaters, I have never fished any of these. Even though I over the years have found sporadic informations on some carpwaters in Sweden, it has been very little details, I have happened to come across. Only in one single swedish book by Per-Ola Johanneson a few informations on carp waters are passed on.
In swedish homepages, a total lack of informations on even the most commonly known and fished waters strikes you straight away. In this country, the carpanglers unfortunately still tend to keep all informations to themselves - and this secrecy thus is a main obstacle to the visiting angler. 
Not more than a handfull of waters are mentioned in swedish sites - making it quite hard to compile a comprehensive and detailed list of swedich carp venues. This list is simply what I've got.

Ballasjön, Bollebygd, Göteborg

Big grasscarp - one of 11 kg caught in 2002. The carp tops 10 kg+. Daytickets.

Bälingesjön  
Big carp to 14 kg+ are caught each year; lake record 16 kg. A very rich water worth a try - and very good fishing can be on the cards her. Daytickets.

Anything to add?
This list certainly could be considerably more detailed - and no doubt more waters with carp exist in Sweden.

This lake can be divided into the two parts, the Norresön and Söndrasjön, connected at the river Helgeån. The lake have been stocked with Aneboda carp several times since the late nineties, and these are now in the 5 - 8 kg bracket. An old carp population should also be present, but even though a 15 kg specimen are alledged to have been caught many years ago, these fish are few and far between. Before 1960, this was also one of the few breeding areas of the original swedish wels catfish of the Helgeån population, but since 1969 no cats have been registred here.
