Anno 1793 Sekelgården

Ystad

In 1244, Ystad is mentioned for the first time in literature, when King Erik visited the place, and the town's St. Mary's Church dates from this time. Some time later, in 1267, the monastery of Gråbrød was built by Franciscan monks, and Ystad became known during the Hanseatic period.

In Ystad you can also visit Scandinavia's oldest half-timbered house, Pilgrändshuset, located on the street of the same name.

If you are interested in cultural history, Ystad has a lot to offer. Ystad is an old town, founded in the 12th century as a fishing village where the Vassa River flows into the Baltic Sea. It is only natural, therefore, that herring fishing made up the majority of the population's diet at that time.

Ystad's large harbour has always played an important role for the city. Today you can travel by ferry to Bornholm, Germany and Poland from Ystad. In Skåne, you can also visit the area's many beautiful castles. Also visit Sweden's southernmost point, Smygehus.

Ystad Golf Club

The golf course is located on the Baltic Sea and is cared for and maintained according to the rules of the art. The course has 18 holes, with the first 9 holes being very challenging with many challenges. The last 9 holes offer more space, but here the wind from the southwest can be a problem.

Ystad Golf Club offers 18 holes, driving range, two new practice greens, changing rooms, restaurant and professionally trained staff.

Tosselilla Sommarland

In the middle of scenic Österlen, you'll find the perfect setting for a great family day out. At Tosselilla Sommarland - Skåne's largest summerland - you can unleash your joy in the many water slides, hilarious roller coasters, challenging Tarzan tracks and get speed and excitement on two or four wheels.

Ales Stone

Ales Sten er en skibssætning fra den tidlige jernalder, som ligger på højderyggen over Kåseberga Havn. Stenen er 67 m lang og består af 59 kvartssandsten, som hver vejer omkring 5 tons.

Nogle forskere mener, at monumentet også er et solur.

Sandhammaren

Take a walk on Sandhammaren beach and discover Skåne's south-eastern corner.

You'll find yourself just walking along the water's edge, but suddenly you've rounded the corner and no longer have the beach behind you.

In summer, the sun shines and bathing is child-friendly, as the water is shallow.

Don't forget to see the Sandhammaren lighthouse while you're there. Here you can see all the way to Bornholm in clear weather.

Glimminge House

Visit the well-preserved medieval castle of Glimminge Hus, which was begun in 1499, when Skåne was still Danish. The exact date is written on a tablet in Valby church! During the Scanian War the castle was almost blown up, but a Danish fleet just managed to save it.

Go ghost hunting or try to do different things as they did in the Middle Ages. The castle is surrounded by a moat and there's plenty of space on the grass for a picnic and some play.

The area is surrounded by beautiful fields, which in spring light up with their yellow rapeseed flowers.
