Skreabanan is correct! Falkenbergs Motorbana was built in 1967 to replace the old road course.
Our Circuit Database lists both under Falkenberg, but from a quick glance at the map you posted and google maps makes it look like the two circuits are quite a ways apart. With the Skreabanan possibly not even existing completely anymore, or the roads are too narrow to show up.
Question I had was would you list them under the same circuit or two separate ones?
Different ones, since they don't share one meter of asphalt. But I don't know how you usually do, it is the same case with the circuits at Sachsenring and Brno - the purpose built track replaced the old road course. The signature event at Skreabanan - "Västkustloppet" (The West Coast Race) - was moved to the new track. So while it is a completely different track, it is the same franchise.
Sachsenring get the same entry since the last one is a modification of the old track, granted that's quite tenuous as you can see.
Brno will get the Spa treatment, with a zoom to the modern track, since it's so close to the original one.
Falkenberg will get two when I get around to it, pretty much has to since Singapore and Thompson Road are separate too.

It would. Too easy, I guess - I thought I could thwart you lot by stretching the definiton of "circuit" somewhat...

It's the vegetation that gives it away.
