10 Things to Do in Landskrona That You Shouldn't Miss
Landskrona is a late medieval town in Scania province, Sweden, located at the shores of Øresund, founded at the location of the former Danish fishing village Sønder Sæby in the province of Scania by king Erik VII of Pomerania early in the 15th century. In 1720 the town, like its province, became a formal part of Sweden. Around the Castle build by Danish king Christian III in 1549, Landskrona Citadel, a huge system of moats emerged over the centuries, also in the town's Swedish history. Today the Citadel is famous for its well-preserved moat system, which includes parts of four moats. At the northern part of the Citadel, Sweden's second, and today oldest allotment area is located. Its port is based on a natural chute in the sandy sea floor, despite the lack of any nearby debouching river.

The Citadel is one of the best-preserved 16th century fortresses in the Nordic countries, built by King Christian III of Denmark between 1549 and 1559. In the 1800s the Citadel was used as a prison for convicts with life sentences and for vagrants. Then it was converted to a women's prison that was in use until 1940. There is a cafe in the grounds and you can fish in the moat. There's no admission for the area around the fortress but if you'd like to go inside the Citadel, you'd need to go on a guidad tour. It costs 75 SEK for adult and 40 SEK for children (7-15)

Landskrona a late medieval town located at the shores of Øresund founded early in the 15th century. Landskrona Citadel was initially built 1549–1559 as a purely defensive fortification with two complete moats, the inner with a width of 70 metres. It is amazing place when you can learn a lot about history of the town, citadell, fortifications and many other. Definetely worth to stop and visit.

The Landskrona museum is a must in town! Here you can see a very nicely arranged permanent exposition about the excavation findings of the early inhabitants, flora and fauna in the area dating as far as 4000 BC! Constantly changing Exhibitions vill invite you to visit the place rather often. The building is old and we'll kept. There is a working art workshop for those who get inspired. The hungry ones will find something nice in the museum Caffè.

Sofia Albertina Church is one of those churches that looks dreary and boring from the outside. The stone is grey and looks dirty. But when you get inside the church you are filled with the greatness, stillness and cleanliness of the church. Great for confirmation, but also for Concerts and the fantastic yealy christmas prayer at 1600 hrs on Christmas eve.

Curla.nu is a nice place to meet up with family and friends and be a little active with the opportunity of having a great meal with everyone.
The serve both buffet lunches and take dinner Reservations as part of team activities. We have been here with work on a number of occasion as it is a great place to meet each other in colder winter months as still be able to do something together.
Not for "fine dining", but for a great activity with a decent price.

What ever the weather, during most the part of the year, this is a wonderful area for a relaxing, meditative stroll.
There are plenty of small narrow paths that crisscross the area and right along the moats, and so it feels like a much larger area than it geographically is. There is a bridge crossing over the moat into the Citadel where you can take a break and relax with a coffee at the cafe och have a light meal, or you can continue the stroll down to the shoreline och the one side or visit the art museum on the other side of the Citadel. In "Granet" close by there is a nice playground for kids. Don't miss the "Rothofska Kolonin" which is owned by Landskrona Museum and open to the public. All in all its a great day/half-day activity.
7. Asmundtorps kyrka

Reviewed By NillaJ - Landskrona
The "new" church in Asmundtorp was built in the late 19th century, replacing a medieval church as the parish grew during the 19th century. This was a rich parish and it reflects itself in the size of the country parish.
The church is built in a neo-gothic style and is really impressive as it rises its tower on the flat Scanian landscape. When the church was built it created a turmoil as the parisioners didn't won't to replace their 800 old year church - it was demolished - but to no avail. The new church is there and it is impressive. Also very impressive as you get inside, with its high ceiling and large windows.
On a rainy day it is worth a visit, used quite a lot for Concerts.

We had a nice afternoon coffee at the cafe and then enjoyed some art at the Landskrona art gallery. Several different artists were exhibited and the entrance was free. We also enjoyed looking at the interesting architecture of the building which is from the 1960s. The huge windows look out on the surrounding park.

The Rothoffska garden allotment is Sweden's only museum dedicated to the garden allotment movement. The cottage lies within the Citadel community garden allotment area first opened in 1903 along the fortress ramparts of the Citadel. The cottage has been restored with architectural care for its original detail and the garden is still cultivated, now entirely ecologically.

This is an old "koloni"(allotment) in one of the oldest allotment areas in Europe, if not the oldest. Managed by the local museum, the allotment and the small shed on it is maintained in the way it was built and used, and visitors are not only welcome but encouraged to visit the garden, explore the plants and herbs, and have a look at what essentially was a substitute garden for those who had moved from the country side into the city and now lived in an apartment.Featuring many flowers, vegetables and herbs and also a beehive and an "insect motel".
