Discover Landskrona Castle – the Citadel

Just a short walk from the hotel lies Landskrona Castle, the Citadel – one of the best-preserved 16th-century fortresses in the Nordic region. Built between 1549 and 1559 by the Danish King Christian III, the castle is still surrounded by impressive ramparts, bastions and moats.

Wander through the historic surroundings and discover a place that has served as a fortress, prison and forced labour institution over the centuries. During the summer, guided tours take visitors inside the castle and reveal its fascinating – and sometimes dark – history.

Today, the Citadel area is a beautiful green meeting place with a café, artists, small shops and a large adventure playground. Next to the castle lies Sweden’s oldest preserved allotment garden area, with charming garden cottages and the unique Rothoff Museum Allotment Garden.

The Citadel allotment gardens – a green oasis

Landskrona is known for its strong allotment garden tradition, and surrounding the Citadel is one of Sweden’s oldest allotment areas. As early as the 1860s, pharmacist Bergh cultivated medicinal plants here, and before long more residents of Landskrona began creating allotments of their own.

Wander along the narrow paths and enjoy the colourful flowers, charming cottages and beautiful decorative woodwork. The oldest cottages have light-painted wooden façades and small-paned windows, while some of the pavilions were built for Landskrona’s 500th anniversary in 1913.

This is also where you will find Rothoffs Museikoloni – Sweden’s only allotment garden museum. The cottage was built in 1903 and is furnished as it would have been at the beginning of the 20th century. Take a moment to relax in the peaceful garden and experience a small but living part of Landskrona’s history.

Discover Borstahusen

Borstahusen is Landskrona’s charming old fishing village, founded in 1776 by the brothers Rasmus and Jöns Andersson Borste. Wander through the narrow lanes lined with picturesque houses, then continue down towards the harbour, the beach and the beautiful views across the Öresund towards Ven.

In the harbour you will find Pumphuset, where a restaurant, art gallery and museum come together under one roof. The area also offers cosy restaurants, a marina and beautiful walks along the waterfront.

A short walk away is Kvarteret Erikstorp, where the historic royal estate has become a lively meeting place with restaurants in a lovely setting – perfect for lunch, dinner or a relaxing drink.

If you have the opportunity, stay for the sunset. It is something truly special.

Discover the history of Landskrona

Right next to the Town Hall Square, you will find Landskrona Museum, housed in the historic Adolf Fredrik military barracks dating from the 1750s. Through permanent and temporary exhibitions, you can follow the development of Landskrona – from the founding of the city in 1413 to its years as an important industrial centre.

The museum offers history, art and exhibitions for both adults and children. One of its best-known exhibitions is dedicated to Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd’s Non-Violence. The knotted revolver, created after the murder of John Lennon, has become an internationally recognised symbol of peace and resistance to violence.
