Helsingborg Old Town My Fav Spot

Helsingborg Old Town

Helsingborg is one of the oldest cities in Sweden, officially established May 21, 1085 year (then in Denmark). The location at the narrowest point of the Sound has contributed to the rapid growth of its meaning. Probably in the twelfth century fortress was built, after which until now has remained only a tower, called Kärnan. From 1429 years Denmark collects a duty on all individuals passing between Helsingborg and Elsinore, which was one of the main influences to the treasury of the Danish krone. The city worth seeing: Karnan - Castle built in the twelfth century as a defensive fortress, St. Maria Kyrka - the fourteenth-century church of the Virgin Mary built for 100 years, Sofiero - the royal summer residence surrounded by a beautiful park, Fredriksdall - open-air museum, which includes historic parks, gardens, houses and farm.
