Trolle-Wachtmeisters park

Trolle Wachtmeisters park is a park in Väster in Lund. In 1928, the park appeared for the first time in a city plan proposal by city engineer Magnus Wennström. The park land was to be leased free of charge by Sankt Peters Klosters Säteri, owned by Count Axel Trolle-Wachtmeister's heirs. During this time, the land was still arable land, and it was not until the late 1930s that the park was completed, with ornamental planting, as well as a sandbox and paddling pool for the children.
