Individual Sights in Landskrona

Sight 1: Citadellet

Show sight on map
Citadellet

Landskrona Citadel is situated in Landskrona, Scania, southern Sweden. Much of the original work is intact. Examples remain of all major parts of the fortification, which is uncommon in such an accessible area. The moat around the central fortification is intact, as are the north-west and north-east parts of the outermost moat, which originally connected to a moat surrounding the city itself. Centermost, the citadel sits on an island surrounded by its own moat. North of the fort, between the second, third and fourth moat is Sweden's oldest allotment-garden. Several of its garden houses are attractions in themselves. Also the fortress castle itself hides both history as such as well as historical horrors, like the 16th Century dungeon in the old western tower, into which the unlucky prisoners were thrown down through a hatch. If surviving the 4-5 meter fall, there then was neither any daylight or any way out. Also the eastern tower has in later centuries served as a prison for those serving life sentences. Around 1900 until 1940 a part of the fortress served as a forced labour institution for vagrant women

Sofia Albertina Church is the main church in Landskrona, Sweden. Belonging to the Landskrona Parish of the Church of Sweden, it was inaugurated in 1788 and fully completed in 1816. It is considered a rare church building, in the respect that it has two towers without being a Bishop's church. The church was originally designed by Carl Hårleman, as perhaps his last greater task. Hårleman died in 1753, the same year as the old church was demolished. Smaller changes to Hårlemans original may have been done.

In the museum's fact room, the Memorial Bank, the municipality's memories and its history are gathered. During spring and autumn, a varied program is offered. Screenings, lectures, musical entertainment, debates, etc. The children take up a lot of space at the museum and the collaboration with the school is extensive. Ateljé Nell, a place for creative creation, is open during weekends and school holidays, often with an educator who helps and inspires. In the summer, Ateljé Nell usually moves outdoors, for example to Rothoff's museum colony, Teaterparken or Slottsparken.
