Great place with a lot of information on Sweden's past history, boats and even Madame de Staël! When I was visiting, there was an exhibition about the ecology where you can learn a lot about recycling; well done, fun for adults and kids.

Saab Car Museum

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Museum
Specialty Museums
The Saab Car Museum in Trollhattan offers a captivating journey through the history of Saab automobiles, showcasing vintage models alongside modern-day cars. With interactive displays and informative exhibits, visitors can explore the development of Saab vehicles over time. The museum houses around 120 cars, with approximately half on display at any given time. From cutaways of cars and engines to carefully displayed historical photos and text, the museum provides a comprehensive look at the evolution of this Swedish car manufacturer.
As a Saab owner from America is was a long way out of the way to come to this museum but it did not disappoint. The facility is modern and clean but you can still tell it used to be the factory which is very cool. The cars are all in perfect shape. Restored or not they all were very well taken care for. The staff were nice and knowledgeable. It was a dream come true for me to come here.
Scottsen21 — Google review
I’ve wanted to visit for years and we happened to be passing through Trollhättan. I enjoyed my walk through and found it a small museum but it contains the full history in cars. It’s a great stop for anyone who’s appreciated Saabs over the years and if some of your party isn’t into joining, they can stroll the trails along the locks a block away.
Shawn N — Google review
Have to be a Saab fan. My Son has a 9-3 and the reason he wanted to visit Sweden. We like that they have info for the factory modified cars. I wish they displayed the custom hauler that was parked where you can't get to it. It would have been neat to check out.
Richard A — Google review
A must visit for Saab fans or any petrol head. Very friendly staff. Clearly there's a lot of cars inside but surprisingly also the photos section describing important moments from Saab history was very interesting. Including coffee automat, small sitting area with kids colouring, so dad can roam around a bit longer:) And a very nice gift shop surprisingly well equipped given that Saab itself bankrupted more than ten years ago. Also they sell combined ticket to science museum next door so with kids that's a nice option.

Havets Hus i Lysekil

Aquarium
Nature & Parks
Over 30 aquariums fed by seawater, home to sharks, crabs & starfish, with tunnels & touch pools.
I really liked this place and our daughter loved it. Very informative and educational information. There are a lot of different animals. Fish in all shapes and all other animals that live in the big blue ocean. There's no problem finding all fishes that are in each tank. Each tank is well clean and it was just a fun and interesting visit. There's a small playground inside and a bigger ship shaped outside. She loved both. The only negative is that it is too small. You will walk through it way too fast. But all in all it is worth a visit if you have not been here before.
Fredrik F — Google review
Fun for children and the underwater glass tunnel was nice. The rest of the tanks were smaller with typical Swedish west coast underwater wildlife. The place is not very big but we also did the "seal safari" which was well worth the money. It was actually nicer than the aquarium itself
Al L — Google review
Exciting aquarium for the whole family. Highlights included the feeding time, the toilet aquarium view and a great little museum shop. We didn’t end up eating in the restaurant but it looked like a fine venue too. Perfect for touristing in Lysekil on a rainy day. Has a cute playground for the little ones outside.
Diana V — Google review
A nice find in Lysekil! Although small you get to see a lot of different tanks. Always fascinating to see the beautiful sea kingdom!
Antonis P — Google review
A very small aquarium. A little costly. Not crowded. Has a restaurant. The entrance could be difficult to find. The parking is on either side of the entrance. The back door parking lot is for the staff.

Carlstens Fästning

Mentioned on

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Carlstens Fästning, also known as Carlstens Fortress, is a 17th-century stone fortress located on the island of Marstrand. It has served as a center of defense and later as a prison for iconic historical criminals. Today, it offers guided interpretive tours and features a banquet hall, cafe, and hotel. The fortress provides stunning views of the picturesque island village of Marstrand and the southern Bohuslan coast.
Outstanding views from the walls. A very well preserved fortress worthy of many pictures. Exceptional when the weather is good. Easily one the most beautiful place in Sweden. We came here during midsommar, we would have liked to visit the inside but we did not have the time, said I would come back to the very welcoming young woman at the entrance but in the end I could not, maybe next time!
Stanislas T — Google review
Great fort with awesome views and history. You need to buy tickets to get around the fort but free to visit around and catch breathtaking ocean views. Neatly maintained and well preserved. Camp, swim and trek. An awesome experience.

Majestic castle on top of Marstands Island. It will take a 2 minute ferry ride from Mastrands Färjeläge. Two way tickets cost 34 SEK per person. No need to buy tickets in advance. Tickets available from the counter.

Did not purchase tickets to go inside but the exterior was cool to look at! You can hike around the castle through trails over rocks and look out to the sea! Pretty sweet!
Dominique A — Google review
Ive been absolutely in love with castles, forts and the likes since I was a small boy. This was extremely interesting and informative! The castle is in very good shape (of course only everything made of Rock, there are multiple floors/parts which were made of wood and sadly didnt live to see this day) But they talk about that in the "Podcast" through the castle with 28 1-2min parts. I loved the Story being told, its in multiple languages, including german, which tells you about the forts origin, how much blond and sweat it took to build and what its purpose. The ticket price was 120 Krona (ca. 11 euro) for regular grownups and 100 (ca. 9) for students, which is completly justified, as you have to keep the fort in check. Definetly Worte the Trip! There is also a small place to eat infront of it.
Arias B — Google review
It’s interesting to walk around and explore the fortress. But the fact that it was used as a prison — and that they still display portraits of former inmates — makes you wonder what exactly they’re proud of. +very expensive tickets!!!

Bim B — Google review
It was so much fun! I love old castles, tho. Our tour was in Swedish, and I know very little, but even still, the tour guide passed along the feeling and was animated and enjoyable, and Google Translate gave a decent jist of what she was saying. They have tours in English, of course also, but not at the time we were there. Do it if you get a chance. Oh! And I grabbed some viking drinking horns at the gift shop for half price as I had seen them elsewhere.

Universeum

Mentioned on

Science museum
Museums
Universeum is a top-notch museum for kids in Sweden, featuring seven floors of interactive experiences with themes like the brain, the ocean, and space. The museum boasts a huge diplodocus at its entrance and is located near Liseberg amusement park. Visitors can explore large aquariums, a rainforest with tropical birds and butterflies, life-sized dinosaurs, and even experience Swedish wilderness and space travel. Additionally, the Universeum Science Discovery Centre offers interactive experiments and a rainforest exhibit.
A fantastic place for both adults and children! The facilities are very clean and well-maintained, making it a pleasure to visit. The restrooms are spotless, and there is also a small café where you can take a break and enjoy a snack. The exhibition is divided into several themed zones, each offering something unique. The tropical zone is particularly impressive — it’s quite hot inside, so I recommend not bringing warm clothes, otherwise you’ll just end up carrying them around. While there aren’t a huge number of animals, the way everything is presented, the design, and the overall concept are truly impressive for both kids and adults. The large aquariums filled with different species of fish are especially captivating, giving you the feeling of being immersed in an underwater world. This is definitely a place worth visiting with the whole family. It combines entertainment with educational value, leaving you with vivid memories and a strong desire to come back again.
Den F — Google review
Overall, decent experience, but after visiting a few places like this around Europe it is unfortunately average. Animals are few and between, some tanks are dirty and with a lot of green algae. My child had a decent time but as a adult you would expect a little bit more.

Such an amazing place! A must visit if you go to Gothenburg There is something for everyone here- space,dinosaurs, science, aquarium, rainforest, kids place area. There is a cafe and restaurant on site too, we went to the cafe and the food was lovely we got a grilled cheese and a cookie. The place itself is fantastic, there is so many opportunities to learn things and to get involved in activities. It truly is such a lovely place that you can spend hours in! Would definitely recommend!!!
Freya S — Google review
Great experience! I actually went twice during my visit to Gothenburg. I went by myself at first and spend 1.5 hours there, enjoyed it so much that I went again with my partner for another hour. So much to see and enjoy for all ages. Definitely recommend visiting. It was a bit busy when I went during the day because there were some school classes also there (a lot of kids). The second time I went an hour before closing and it was quieter then.
Sarah H — Google review
Was a bit disappointed, there were a lot of aquariums or displays « in construction » or empty. The aquarium side seemed to be a bit abandoned. There was still a lot of information given by the posters. The rainforest was very nice, with birds flying freely in the space. Again, many things were just empty. It is nice that you have other exhibitions includes with you entry (body, space, data). It’s very kids oriented. Normally I enjoy aquariums as much as kids, but for this one I should’ve skipped it, not enough fishes (no jelly fish for example, very few mantras, lack of fish in the big fish tunnel). Good thing is after 16:30 it’s only 200kr!
SB — Google review
It's nicely designed & well made, we loved it! -1⭐️ because they (currently?) have a massive spider problem! Codwebs are EVERYWHERE & you genuinely have to be careful from spiders hanging from ceilings (we had to duck under 3 & probably still disturbed some nets) It therefore looks a little badly taken care of because of that.. So be warned it you suffer from Arachnophobia haha
Schnuds — Google review
A full day of fun, learning, and exploring nature! Universeum is great for kids and families. Don’t miss the incredible Wisdome experience; the 3D universe and T.Rex shows were highlights. Be sure to ask for the English recorded machine if needed. The Aquarium and reptiles section was very good. While the Rainforest was good, we noticed many animals were missing and could only spot flamingos. Despite the missing rainforest residents, the overall experience was excellent and highly recommended.
Chakradhar — Google review
Honestly, it's a bit for kids but me and two other 40 year old men still enjoyed it. Go in, go to the elevators at the back and go to floor 7. We went in after 3pm so it was cheaper. From there there's a series of ramps and you can basically walk down through the whole building. Floor to ceiling fish tanks, reptile area, space and science area with a cloud chamber that was cool. Little screen with some cool videos. Then you can go through the hot house floors, nipping out through the airlocks to checkout the floors adjacent on your way down as it's very humid in there, breaks recommended. For us it filled a few hours and one of us needs a walking stick so highly recommend that top down route for that reason.

Gothenburg Botanical Garden, also known as Botaniska Tradgarden, is a sprawling and tranquil oasis that offers a serene escape from the city's hustle and bustle. Established in 1916, this expansive 432-acre garden is one of Europe's largest botanical gardens. It features over 16,000 plant species, including rare and endangered ones, housed in greenhouses with exhibitions.
Beautiful Garden with loads of different plants and trees. You can walk around and enjoy nature. It’s wheelchair accessible but the garden in total is having some steep parts. The restaurant in the garden has some really delicious food for reasonable prices. The entry is free but you can pay something if you want to help keeping the garden - amazing concept. I will definitely come back here ❤️
Jules B — Google review
One of the largest botanical gardens in Europe. Free admission, with optional donations. It feels more like a vast natural park — almost like a national park — right in the middle of Gothenburg. Perfect for picnics, sunbathing, or hiking up to a small mountain that was recently cleared after being overgrown for decades. Walking here feels like stepping into wild nature. Highly recommended for stress relief.
Daniel J — Google review
Well kept charming botanical garden! Its so lush in greenery. Landscaping is stunning! There are plenty of walking paths as well as running. Its a green lush haven from the city. Can easily take the tram. Very much worth the visit!

Like many things in Gothenburg there is construction and/or renovation occurring and the botanical garden is no exception as the glass houses are being replaced and won’t be open until 2030. The map of the garden is a great guide but recommend going to the wild side, Smith Valley and getting to the high point with great views.drop down from here into the rock garden with the waterfall. Definitely worth the visit.

Marijana — Google review
It is a nice, diverse garden with different sections. It also goes up quite a bit, so be prepared. The mainroad is easy to walk, at some places it gets quite steep. This could be difficult for older people or people with children. Additionally, there are many side ways but there are steps most of the time, so plan accordingly. We couldn't visit the greenhouses because they are under construction (like 50% of the city at the moment, at least it felt like it)

Although prices have increased, the variety of shops available makes it a must-visit destination for fashion enthusiasts.

Visited Hede Fashion Outlet recently and had a good experience overall. The outlet has a nice atmosphere-spacious, clean, and not too crowded. It's a great place to spend a few hours shopping. You'll find many big international brands, especially for dresses, bags, and shoes. Prices vary-some stores offer real outlet deals, while others feel more like regular retail with small discounts. But if you look around, you can definitely find good bargains. There's also a small selection of cafés and restaurants to take a break-like Espresso House

This outlet is quite different from what you might know from countries like Germany or the Netherlands. It is smaller, the selection is less, and it is super empty. However, the salespeople are very nice and try to help wherever they can! Compared to the aforementioned countries, the prices are significantly cheaper. Therefore, it is definitely worth a visit to save some money.

Tjolöholm Castle

Castle
Nature & Parks
English-style castle in early 20th-century decor, with landscaped park & gardens, plus guestrooms.
Castle Visit (Not Stay) I am lucky I visited this castle and took a guided tour. The entire premises (Entrance/parking/gardens/Cafes/The Castle itself) are well maintained. The castle is in excellent shape and very elegant. Just imagining what the original residents must have felt to stay here. The guided tour is nice. Gives quick insights into the castle history. There is a nice beach behind the castle. In a summer, families can arrange a one day picnic to this place. Tourists should allocate around 3-4 hours to visit the place in its entireity. Tickets can be purchased on site. There is not much rush.

Visited from a cruise ship while docked in Gothenburg. Firstly it is not a hotel but a visitor attraction and museum. It took us around 30 mins on the coach to arrive at the castle but it is well worth the drive. It is now a museum as such and is very well maintained. We had a guided tour and the history was explained very well from the castles conception to the family that built it (actually a Scotsman). What I liked most was that while it is a museum walking around it still felt lived in and quite homely to me which added to its attraction. All the original artefacts and fittings are still on display and there is plenty to see. There is some great views from the windows and the gardens are well maintained. Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed the guided tour and I would consider it a must see attraction when visiting Gothenburg. You can get afternoon tea if you wish but unfortunately we did not have the time for that.

Took 3 hours to walk around the castle and gardens. Beautiful and not that crowded. Ate baked potato to lunch at the cafe. Perfect stop on our road trip.

Right. So you get to Tjolöholm. And of course, being in Scandinavia, it's a few minutes past 5 pm, so the doors are all locked. Perfectly predictable, isn't it? A bit of a shame, but as it turns out, it really doesn't matter. Even from the outside, the place is just brilliant. My word, it's a magnificent, imposing building that looks like something out of a film. And the location? A proper triumph. Perched right there, overlooking the water. It's utterly stunning and perfectly placed. It proves that a place can be brilliant even if you can’t get inside. It makes you feel genuinely happy for the person who lived there. A proper, lucky soul.

I love visiting Tjolöholm castle, although its more like a stately home. You'd never imagine this place in Sweden, its more befitting to a victorian family in England. Not surprising as it was built as a tribute to a Scottish business man by his widow. Lots of interesting rooms to visit. It's changed since I first visited 30 years ago. Definitely worth a visit. Great cafe on-site! Car park could be closer. My sister struggled to walk to the home due to recovery from surgery but persisted.

Gekås

Department store
Shopping
Well-known superstore selling diverse goods on an expansive property with a campground & hotel.
Easily my favorite outlet store in Sweden. Super big store with a lot of different products at lower prices. Not recommended for me to travel here often because it gets expensive due to cheap prices. 😅 It has a cafe, restaurants and everything one needs to spend the entire day in the store.
Joy G — Google review
Finally a store that has some - not much - mama clothes! Their kids clothes department had a good organization, there were signs where you can see the size of clothes you are looking for so you don't need to look through the whole department. On the other hand, if you download their own map over the store you can see they have marked up the store by letter+number combination. Very smart thinking but they fall half way. At the map you can also look for what you might be looking for... Maybe it's like for me mama clothes but no, it's not specified where by letter+number you can find it in the store 😐 So one have to disturb the staff everytime you can't find the stuff you are looking for. 🫤 So one could have been much more independent if one just have the information... Maybe an app over the departments if it changes a lot, could be next step? To visit early in the morning, midweek, was a really good idea. It got crowded first around lunchtime. If you are quick you can be done by lunch.

Chaos...chaos..chaos.. The prizes are maybe somewhat lower then usual, but thats only the case when you buy in bulk and really need it. We ve scored some Legos for some kids back home, because that's the only thing that was cheaper. Because it's so big and busy, we couldn't see everything, be sure you arrive in time and take a couple of days to visit.. For us, yeah it was fun, but not sure we'll go back again..

There are 2 restaurant to eat. It worth to travel from far if you are planning to buy like more than 10k Sek..
Basavaraju N — Google review
If you need your day to day items shopping done this is a good place to be at. Especially if you need quality clothes for babies/kids without spending a fortune. But don't expect to be buying in bulk and make huge savings. The prizes are the same or just below as other budget stores in Sweden. But you will not have any problem finding what you need in the same store.

What a store, unbelievable experience!! Never thought such a store exists in Sweden. Never have I been to such a large store with so much different things! They literally have everything, outdoor furniture, shampoo, breads and soo much more! As a tourist you have to visit this place.
Dennis M — Google review
There is plenty of parking in close proximity to the entrance. Once inside you will be greeted by the great assortment of clothes (some of which are by known brands such as Hugo Boss). There are also many other products and some restaurants. The only negative is that it’s often quite crowded, expect so wait in line at the counters for at least 10 minutes.

Museum
Cafeteria
The Halland Museum of Cultural History, located in an ancient seaside fort, offers a glimpse into the rich past of Halland. The museum showcases human remains from the Middle Ages and exhibits on local history, including evidence of Viking settlements dating back to the 8th century. Visitors can explore medieval castles, quaint fishing villages, and learn about the region's contested history between Denmark and Sweden.
Great experience, it has information in English and Swedish. It shows a lot of history about Varberg and Halland County. It was worth it buying the ticket and helpful staff who provided us with a discount for students.

Here the remains of the old mud man mudgerd från mudbäck are displayed. You can see mud around his bones and also displayed in a special exhibition on the colours of mud. If you like mud you can by it in the museum's store. The store people can tell whatever you want to here about the purpose of this mud. Just tell them what you want to use it for, they'll repeat it then. Have fun and mud on!

Interesting and interactive museum which offers a lot to see. Temporary exhibitions, impressionist artwork, the history of Halland and the Bocksten Man are just a few of the things you can see here. This makes the entrance fee quite worthwhile.

Much smaller yet equally entertaining park for the whole family. Lesser chance of getting tired or loosing a group member due to smaller size . The surprise skits and circus are worth a visit. The free train to city centre is enjoyable as well. Very good adventure park for families with kids and people with special needs. Food not upto the mark ! No place to do your own grill ! Start an early day and take a train to city centre to get lunch or walk across the road to eat at burger king (which has an exceptionally good service )

If the quality is imortant for you don't go there! Poor quality of food, poor quality of instrument. They sell ticket unlimited so too many people so you will not enjoy in the water becuase you can not move! As a result of having too many people in the pool water is not clean. Staff are not perfotional they can not even speak Swdish. Awfull experience don't be decived by pictures on their website.

Really affordable price but after a few minutes you understand why. Paint work is overdue, carousels are sounding like they haven't been oiled in a few years and apparently they haven't got time to attach the toilets to the floor. If you ignore this and focus on the fairly new water attractions then it's very affordable and could give you a pleasant day.
Tomas G — Google review
Spent 1700kr for our visit with our 4 children and was slightly disappointed. Social distancing none existent in the park nor was it enforced. I noticed in the hut there was a shelf full of facemasks and not one staff member using them even when in close contact with so many people. We prebooked thinking that's what you had to do to secure entrance into there but they were just letting everyone in who hadn't prebooked. The park was over filled the overflow carpark was in full use. No one was obeying the rules either and no one was enforcing them, so the swimming area was chaotic! Also the changing room was too small and not enough showers. The bins were overflowing by 11am and toilets were dirty. Overall the park is pretty run down and needs fixing up with better hygiene facilities in place and perhaps some sort of security. Definitely not worth over 2000kr we spent on food and entrance.
Lee L — Google review
Horrible experience! When we got to the line, 40 min before opening, there were 12 people in line. As time went by, more and more joined these people. We realized it’s a whole big family and their friends are joining by cutting in line the last 10 min before opening. Finally, we tell them because as they are increasing, we won’t get in even though we’ve been waiting for so long, but they don’t care and we don’t want to argue with our kids there. So we tell the staff (we counted and they were 49 - so from 12 to 49...). The staff were completely ignorant of this and neglected us and just said “well some families are big.” We left with very disappointed children, because we wouldve never gotten in. Avoid!
Simone N — Google review
Ein irgendwie doch ganz schön in die Jahre gekommender Erlebnispark. Es gibt unterschiedliche Bereiche, deren Zutritt mit unterschiedlich teuren Eintritt „erkauft“ werden. Alles wirkt plaste-lieblos. Teilweise kaputt und blass. Wer sonst die Detail-Liebe der Schweden zu schätzen weiß, wird hier enttäuscht. Die 300Kr je Person sind es definitiv nicht wert. Auch das Essen im Retaurant ist naja ok. Die Unsauberkeit auf Toiletten dafür dann doch grenzwertig. Dennoch Kinder sehen ja über viele dieser Dinge hinweg und finden ihren Spaß. Da muss man als Erwachsener eben mal die eigene Meinung weit zurück halten. (Translated by Google) An adventure park that is somehow getting quite old. There are different areas whose access is “purchased” with different entrance fees. Everything seems plastic-loving. Partly broken and pale. Anyone who otherwise appreciates the Swedes' attention to detail will be disappointed here. The 300Kr per person is definitely not worth it. The food in the restaurant is also ok. The uncleanliness of the toilets is borderline. However, children overlook many of these things and find fun. As an adult, you have to keep your own opinions far back.
Jana S — Google review
It's old, worn and quite small. It do not offer much and the things it offer looks terrible and much don't work like the small houses with scenes from children's books. Also the water was quite dirty. The only thing that saves the place is the low entry price and the ice creams, they put a lot of ice cream in the cups. I will not return.

Very nice white sand beach! Great for long walks bathe with some algae in the sea! You will get a foul smell in the morning due to see weed and algae floating to shore. Very well maintained beach 🏖️ with plenty of free parking, toilets and restaurants nearby. Its best on the Sunny days as there isn’t so much wind due to bushes and sand piles on the end of shore.

Kungsbygget Äventyrspark

Tours
High ropes course
Summer toboggan run
Zipline & Aerial Adventure Parks
Today, my family and I had the pleasure of spending a delightful day at Kungsbygget Äventyrspark, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. With a diverse group consisting of my wife, our four children (two boys and two girls), and my mother-in-law, we found something exciting and enjoyable for each member of our family. The park's variety of attractions is impressive. Personally, I was thrilled with the exhilarating zipline, which offered a perfect blend of excitement and scenic views. Our boys couldn't get enough of the climbing challenges, which tested their agility and courage in a safe and fun environment. Meanwhile, our girls were captivated by the mountain slide, laughing and smiling with every descent. One of the highlights of our visit was the ample space available to sit and relax under the beautiful Skåne sun. The park is well-designed, providing numerous spots for families to unwind and enjoy the serene surroundings. This made it easy for my mother-in-law to find a comfortable place to rest and take in the picturesque views while we engaged in the various activities. In addition to the fantastic attractions, the pricing was reasonable, making it a great value for families looking to enjoy a full day of adventure without breaking the bank. The staff at Kungsbygget Äventyrspark were exceptionally helpful, contributing to the overall positive experience. They were always ready to assist with a smile, ensuring that our day was smooth and enjoyable.

It’s a great park to spend a day. Zip line: You get to go on two zip line 670m and 740m. It’s quite fast for last 30-40 sec on each but still quite fun. Summer toboggan: This on last a little longer and really safe and fun. You get pulled by lift to top and slide free. It’s a kilometre long approx. You can shoot a video while doing this attached to this post Tree rope high course: you get a brief for 15 min about how do it. The setup is really safe. No chance of falling off once you lock cable while climbing. It can be really tiring once you complete all the course. There are 8 courses one of them being wall climbing. The website say 2.5 hrs to complete but it can take easily 4 hrs. Plus you need lot of energy to complete the whole. So better start the day early as it closes by 5 Pm. Overall it’s small but amazing park!

Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing and unsafe experience. My cousin and I both fell during the ride and got seriously injured—our arms were bruised and scraped badly. Shockingly, there were no visible safety measures in place, not even a basic seatbelt. I find it extremely irresponsible for an attraction like this to operate without proper precautions. The slide itself was clearly old and poorly maintained, making loud and unpleasant noises. We even saw insects struggling on the surface, which only confirmed the lack of cleanliness and upkeep. It’s very concerning considering the number of people using it. In addition, there were no instructions or warning signs in English, which is considered a universal language—especially important for tourists. This lack of communication creates a serious safety risk for international visitors. I strongly advise others to be cautious and would not recommend this attraction unless major improvements are made..

It was a terrible experience. My cousin and I went on this slide, and at some point, we both fell. Our arms were badly scraped, and we were seriously hurt. There wasn’t even a basic safety measure like a seatbelt! I truly cannot understand how such negligence is possible. The slide was old and made strange, disturbing noises while operating. On top of that, there were insects visibly struggling on the surface—clear evidence of poor maintenance. It’s shocking that so many people ride this slide despite its condition. Moreover, there were no signs or instructions in English, which is a universal language. This is a major issue for international visitors and shows a complete disregard for safety and communication. I absolutely do not recommend it.

Kullen Lighthouse, located on the Kullaberg Peninsula, is arguably Scandinavia's oldest lighthouse with a history dating back over 1000 years. Positioned dramatically atop cliffs, it serves as a crucial navigational beacon in heavily trafficked waters, with its powerful 1000-watt beam visible for 27 nautical miles. The site offers expert-led and self-guided tours, along with a summer cafe and opportunities for porpoise watching.
Kullen Lighthouse is a breathtaking coastal landmark on Sweden’s southwest coast. Surrounded by rugged cliffs and stunning ocean views, it offers a peaceful retreat with incredible scenery. Visitors can enjoy panoramic vistas, explore nearby nature trails, and learn about its rich maritime history at the visitor center. Perfect for sightseeing, photography, and nature lovers. A must-visit spot for anyone exploring the area!

Wonderful peninsula for hiking - no difficulties. The round tour (marked orange) is recommended. Pack a bathing suit and plenty of time, it's worth it. The visit to the centre at the top (halfway point) is also worthwhile. Especially noteworthy, outside, the litter educational trail with the final post with plastic bags to help keep nature clean.

A nice view of the sea. Lot's of black berries around the hiking path. Parking is available on the site. Then you have to walk. Wheel chairs are not suitable as hiking area.

We went there on October 24th around 3 p.m. I know it was a bit late, but I only had a short time to see it. The drive to the park was very pleasant, and the parking lots were almost empty. Seeing it in the fall was truly beautiful - so colorful and peaceful. The trees, falling leaves, and the sound of the wind and water created a tranquil atmosphere. I really enjoyed my short visit there and took some amazing photos.

A breathtaking escape into nature! Söderåsen National Park is truly a hidden gem in southern Sweden. The scenery is absolutely stunning—lush forests, dramatic cliffs, and peaceful streams everywhere you look. The hiking trails are well-marked and range from easy walks to more challenging routes, so there’s something for everyone. I highly recommend the Skäralid valley hike and the lookout point at Kopparhatten—the views are unforgettable! The park is very well maintained, with clean rest areas and helpful maps. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxing day in nature, a family picnic, or a solo hiking adventure. I left feeling refreshed and recharged. If you’re in Skåne, Söderåsen is a must-visit!

One of the best national parks i have ever been to. The trails are marked well. One can very well rely on the trail signs on the trees to safely complete the trail without getting lost. I had the pleasure of taking the longest route - the blue trail. Its easy for the most part except for few elevations, which tested my endurance. Remainded me why its classified as hard. The lady in the reception was super kind and helped me with her suggestions of the trail.

nice place for an extended walk - lots of shadow / forest, hence ideal on hot days. don‘t do with kinderwagen, very young kids or elderly people; some tours can be quite choppy, slippery and hilly.

Kronborg Castle

Mentioned on 
58 lists 
Castle
Museums
Kronborg Castle, also known as Hamlet's Castle, is a 16th-century Renaissance masterpiece located in Helsingor, Denmark. This UNESCO World Heritage site is famous for being the inspiration for Elsinore in Shakespeare's 'Hamlet.' The castle features baroque green-copper spires and is surrounded by moats and fortifications. Visitors can explore the inner palace's royal chambers, tapestries, ceiling paintings, and viewpoints.
Good: ✅ This is THE attraction in town. Beautiful property, castle, and engaging museum. ✅ Tailored visits. With a few hours on hand, pay admission and see it all. If short on time, walk the exteriors (amazing views) at no cost. Either journey is at your own pace. ✅ Well organized. There are sections of the castle with color-coded entrances from the main courtyard. A color-coded map is provided making it easy to make choices—see what you want. Caution: ❌ Obviously, a rainy day will alter the outdoor experience. However, for those paying admission, there is still so much to see inside. Summary: Aside from the adjacent cobblestone streets meandering through a charming cluster of shops and restaurants (an attraction on its own), the Kronborg Castle is the star attraction in town. An exploration will not disappoint.

Kronborg Castle is one of the most impressive and atmospheric places I visited in Denmark. Overlooking the Øresund Strait, this UNESCO World Heritage site is not only visually stunning, but also packed with history and character. Known worldwide as “Hamlet’s Castle,” it fully lives up to its fame. The rooms and royal chambers are beautifully preserved, giving you a real sense of the grandeur of the Danish monarchy in the Renaissance era. But the highlight for me was exploring the dark, eerie casemates — the old military barracks beneath the castle. Walking through those damp, stone tunnels really brings the past to life. You can almost feel the presence of the soldiers who once took shelter there. And then there's Holger Danske, the legendary statue deep in the basement. According to Danish folklore, this mythical warrior sleeps under Kronborg Castle and will rise to defend Denmark in her time of need. Seeing the statue in the dim light down there added a magical, almost mythological touch to the whole experience. If you're into history, legends, or just want to explore a magnificent fortress with great views and an unforgettable atmosphere, Kronborg is absolutely worth the visit. Take your time — there’s a lot to discover.

Learned a lot about Danish history at Kronborg Castle — magnificent architecture and rich stories of kings and battles. The tower visit is absolutely worthwhile, offering stunning views over Helsingør and across to Sweden. A must-see for anyone interested in history, culture, and royal heritage.

Visiting Kronborg Castle was such a wonderful way to start our week in Denmark; we went on a Monday (during shoulder season) and it set the tone beautifully for our week ahead. The castle is located in the quaint town of Helsingør, about 45 minutes by train from central Copenhagen. The ride is comfortable and scenic, and from the station it’s a short walk into town and up to the castle grounds. We paid about 145 DKK for adult entry, students 125 DKK, and children under 18 were free. Kronborg dates back to the early 1420s when a fortress first stood here; later in the 16th century King Frederick II transformed it into the grand Renaissance castle you see today. The setting is dramatic: right at the narrowest point of the Øresund Strait, looking across toward Sweden, which explains its historic importance. The connection to William Shakespeare’s Hamlet adds a layer of legend and story: this very site inspired the “Elsinore” of the play. “To be, or not to be” seems almost to float in the air when you walk the corridors. We spent a few hours exploring and I’m so glad we didn’t rush; We enjoyed the whole castle, then ventured down into the crypts beneath the castle which felt a bit eerie, then examined the great halls, ramparts, the chapel and the sweeping views over the water. There’s a nice café inside and the gift shop nearby is well worth a browse and I found some beautiful keepsakes to take home. The town of Helsingør is charming, with historic buildings, small cafés and the sea at its doorstep; combining lunch in the town centre with our castle visit made for a really nice day out of the city. One important note: accessibility is limited; the castle has many stairs and no elevator, so it’s not ideal for wheelchairs. Opening hours when we visited were Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 until 16:00 in the off-peak season; the castle is closed on Mondays. During spring and summer months the hours are extended and on major holidays special times apply, so it’s worth checking ahead. Summer weekends in particular can get busier; if you prefer quieter exploring aim for a weekday morning. If you’re in Copenhagen and craving a day trip with history, drama and stunning scenery, I highly recommend Kronborg Castle.

Few things you can say about Kronborg Castle other than incredible. There’s so much to see, experience, and learn here — the amount of history within these walls is astounding. The preservation work is truly impressive, allowing visitors to step back in time and appreciate this remarkable piece of Denmark’s heritage. I had an amazing time touring the castle and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

A magical place full of history! Kronborg Castle is truly impressive - elegant, mysterious, and full of stories. The view of the sea is breathtaking, and it's easy to imagine Shakespeare's Hamlet walking through the halls. Beautiful architecture, calm atmosphere, and great exhibitions. Just make sure to dress warmly - it can be quite windy there, even in spring!

Kronborg is wonderful and easy day trip from Copenhagen on the train. It exceeded all expectations. The castle is gorgeous. The exhibits are fantastically interactive and engaging. The Hamlet characters coming to life was a highlight. The views of the sea are incredible. Also, great town to explore ..

Maritime museum
Museums
The M/S Maritime Museum in Helsingor, Denmark offers a unique underground experience showcasing the history of Danish seafaring and trade. The modern building provides an intriguing setting for exhibits on this maritime heritage. Located on the northeast coast of Zealand, it stands opposite Helsingborg, Sweden. The museum is a must-visit destination for those interested in delving into Denmark's rich seafaring past.
The museum was very informative and attractive. For adults and for the kids it's for everyone who wants to learn something about Danish maritime history. The museum shop was weak if I compare it with the Viking museum in Roskilde. But overall I definitely recommend this museum. Actually just for this museum you can come to Helsingør.
Yunus D — Google review
Worth a trip to Denmark! It’s not only worth a detour to finish your Copenhagen pass, it could be the cornerstone of your entire trip; according to the Michelin rating, it’s the top note! The museum is set in a dry dock, adorning an incredible architecture. Very kids friendly, with a huge playing area that also instructs, it offers a story within the story with a clandestine mouse that the kids have to hunt for. As for the adults, the museum is multifaceted, showing history, WWII, the influence of shipping, but also stunning models and a mesmerizing photo exhibit of sunk boats and their treasures. Tank to the team, always smiling as they provide answers to the most obscure questions, and the generous donators that made this museum possible. The shop offers quality products designed or made in Denmark. If the cafe is closed, there is a huge indoor food trucks area nearby! There’s more than Hamlet in Helsingør!

It was our second visit to the museum, which underwent an excellent renovation during the winter of 2024–spring 2025. We continue to love the place, as do our kids. It’s a spot where you can learn a great deal about Denmark’s maritime history and spend hours admiring the many boat models. We highly recommend a visit and suggest planning to spend 2–3 hours there.

This museum is so much fun, it deserves all 5/5 stars. Not 4.5, not 4.7, but a proper 5. The effect the museum had on us is that our new dreamjob is to design museums about on the surface boring subjects. Making ships this interesting, quite the accomplishment. It was very interactive, we learned a lot and we loved finding the hidden mice 🐭 (and we're grownups!) Discovered this museum thanks to the CPH card, and would recommend anyone to make a stop here, along with the castle right next to it. Great stuff!

Louisiana Museum of Modern Art

Modern art museum
Sights & Landmarks
The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebaek, Denmark showcases an impressive collection of international contemporary and modern art dating back to 1945. The museum also features temporary exhibitions and is suitable for all ages. Visitors can bring their own food and drinks or dine at the cafeteria/restaurant. The facility is easily accessible with baby strollers and boasts creative spaces for children to play and create.
Super fun place to examine modern art. Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of modern art but this place was a lot of fun. The sculpture garden was the highlight but in a very special way. Be sure to first experience seeing the sculptures from inside the museum as you peruse the other exhibits then experience them from the outside. This made me really appreciate how well the sculpture and the building integrates with each other and with the surrounding environment - both the rise and fall of the property and the background of the sea and sky. Just a superb experience.

About an hour by train outside of Copenhagen city centre and then 10 minutes walk from Humlebaek station. The ticket can be book online but it was also super easy to buy it on arrival with no queue when we go on Sunday midday. There are a little bit of outdoor sculptures and some indoor gallery. Nice view and some interesting displays. There are 2 gift shops, one on the ground floor and one downstairs. I had a fun train ride.

This museum is a wonderful reason to take a short trip and experience another side of Denmark beyond Copenhagen. It offers a great opportunity to focus on and appreciate the works of talented contemporary artists. The outdoor installations, in particular, blend beautifully with the gardens and surrounding landscape. The number of artworks feels just right—not overwhelming—allowing you to take your time, enjoy the scenery, and relax as you explore, especially on a pleasant day.

Really amazing museum. Large galleries, beautiful outdoor space with ocean views, great 2-story gift shop and restaurant. Plan to spend about 2.5 hours wondering around. Really enjoyed the exhibits and architecture. We bought our tickets online and they were good for one use within one year of the time of purchase. The train ride is about an hour from downtown Copenhagen.

Beautiful museum, really recommend the trip out of the city to visit. Great, easy train journey too with a short walk to the museum which is set in the most fabulous building and grounds. We booked tickets in advance so we didn’t have to queue, which id recommend if you can. Loved the sculpture garden, definitely go on a dry day so you can make the most of the gardens and the views over the water. Wonderful cafe, with space to eat/drink outside in the sun. Great coffee. Beautiful shop with loads of fab design based gifts, art prints, ceramics, books and accessories. Cloakroom space through the back of the shop to store bags and coats in lockers is so useful. A card machine is available for those without local coins to use.

Visiting the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art was one of the highlights of our Copenhagen trip; it made for such a beautiful day out of the city. The museum is located in Humlebæk, about 35–40 minutes north of Copenhagen. We took the train and the journey was quick, scenic and very comfortable; once you arrive it’s only a short 10 walk from the station to the entrance ( just follow the crowd) The museum first opened in 1958 and was created with the vision of making modern art accessible in a place where people could experience it alongside nature rather than in a formal or intimidating setting. The architecture is stunning! Designed by Jørgen Bo and Vilhelm Wohlert, and the layout feels thoughtful and calm. There are long corridors of glass, open courtyards, natural light everywhere and pathways that lead you between indoor gallery spaces and the outdoors. It’s the kind of building where you notice something beautiful around every corner. The museum is known for showcasing both international and Danish modern and contemporary artists. They have an incredible permanent collection, and new exhibitions are rotated throughout the year so there is always something fresh to experience. The sculpture garden overlooking the sea might have been my favourite part; walking through the garden with large scale artworks and hearing the ocean just behind them felt very special. Inside there are two places to eat: one café outdoors along the sculpture garden path, and one beautiful indoor restaurant with large windows facing the ocean. We stopped at the restaurant and enjoyed a glass of wine and something delicious to eat while looking out over the coastline; such a peaceful moment in the middle of exploring. There is also a fantastic gift shop filled with design pieces, prints, books and souvenirs. Perfect if you want to take something home to remember your visit. This museum is big; we spent nearly the entire day there and I’m glad we didn’t rush. We took our time walking through the exhibitions, stopping for breaks, sitting outside, and exploring the gardens. It is absolutely the kind of place where slowing down makes the experience even better. Entry tickets cost 145 DKK for adults, with students holding a valid student card paying 125 DKK. Children and young adults under 18 have free entry. We bought our tickets on arrival and there was no wait at all, which made our visit feel relaxed from the start. Opening hours when we visited were Tuesday to Friday from 11:00 to 22:00, and Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 to 18:00; the museum is closed on Mondays. I imagine summer weekends are the busiest, so if you prefer a quieter experience, weekdays are probably ideal. A quote that came to mind while wandering around was “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” It felt fitting, because this place truly lifts something inside you. If you are visiting Copenhagen and want a day where art, architecture and nature come together beautifully, I highly recommend coming here. It’s calming, inspiring and incredibly memorable; I would happily return again.

Lovely museum situated in a gorgeous place looking out on the ocean and Sweden. Loved some of the art, hated some of the art - the perfect modern art experience. The grounds were fun to explore and linked together with the sculptures and exhibition wings beautifully. Amazing shop as well, I wish I had more money as I would happily take most of it home

Furthermore, there are several places where there is a barbecue (grilling) spots with seats. * for parents or people with kids there are a playgrounds for the little ones down by the beach. Right next to the Citadel is Kaptensgården's sculpture park which is beautiful to walk through and there are many sculptures to look at and enjoy. I fully recommend this city and place.

Frederiksborg Castle

Mentioned on 
41 lists 
Castle
Nature & Parks
Frederiksborg Castle, a stunning lakeside palace nestled in Hillerod, Denmark, is a treasure trove of Danish and royal history. Originally constructed in the early 17th century for King Christian IV, this magnificent fortress showcases Dutch Renaissance architecture and stands proudly amidst its picturesque moat-lake. Visitors can explore the expansive grounds featuring beautifully manicured baroque gardens and access the central courtyards without charge.
Absolutely stunning! Frederiksborg Castle is without a doubt one of the most impressive baroque palaces I’ve ever visited - and I’ve seen many across Europe. The architecture is grand and elegant, with richly decorated rooms full of history, royal portraits, and fascinating artifacts. The chapel alone is a masterpiece, and knowing that Danish monarchs were crowned there adds a real sense of significance. The surrounding grounds are equally breathtaking. The baroque garden is massive and beautifully kept, offering amazing views of the castle from different angles. You can easily spend hours walking around the lake, gardens, and courtyards. Fun historical note: the castle was built by King Christian IV in the early 1600s and later restored after a major fire, thanks in part to the founder of Carlsberg beer! It now houses Denmark’s National Portrait Gallery and offers a deep dive into Danish royal history. A must-visit if you’re anywhere near Copenhagen — worth the short trip to Hillerød. Peaceful, majestic, and unforgettable. It made me think of some amazing palaces of Peterhoff, Saints Peterburg.

Frederiksborg Castle is a grand and beautiful castle located about an hour from Copenhagen 🇩🇰. You can take a train to Hillerød Station, and from there it’s an easy 1 km walk to the castle 🚶‍♂️. Entry fee is 110 DKK per person, and the castle is surrounded by stunning gardens and a peaceful lake that make the whole place truly picturesque 🌿🏰. When we visited, some parts were under renovation, and the museum inside didn’t have much that was interactive. Still, the architecture and royal atmosphere make it a pleasant visit, especially if you love history and photography 📸. If you’re short on time, we’d recommend visiting Kronborg and Rosenborg first, and then Frederiksborg — in that order ⏱️. Each has its own charm, but Kronborg and Rosenborg felt more engaging overall ✨.

Why visit? ✅ If limited on time, tour the grounds for free (no cost). ✅ Regarding the grounds, there are so many different views to enjoy while walking the property: gardens, waterfronts, bridges, courtyards, etc. ✅ The castle interior (admission required) is loaded with artwork, antiques, and rooms that stun with both size and intricate detail. Why skip? Honestly, I can’t think of any reason. If limited on time, at least walk to the grounds to get a good look. If spending a day in town, this is THE attraction to visit.
Troy W — Google review
This is a lovely easy day trip out of Copenhagen. A single 40 minute ride on the E train to Hillerød station then a 15 minute walk or short bus ride to the castle. The castle is huge and rarely crowded, but the vast rooms, artwork, and gardens are gorgeous. Check out the tour times before you visit - we were lucky to arrive just in time for the English language tour and it was superb. The castle is an easy walk from town, but there’s also a small boat which does a lap of the lake and for a small fee takes you to the garden and the far side of the castle.

We knew this place was one of those 'must see' locations on the island of Sjælland and I vaguely remembered going there when I was 12, entry is also included within the Copenhagen Card. We had actually spent the entire day in Copenhagen the day previously and so had always planned to head north the following morning. We were back at Tivoli by the afternoon so definitely recommend this as a day if you've the stamina. Very impressive castle and worth the visit. It would probably have been better a few weeks later when the wee boat on the Slotssøen was running again (too early in the season) but then I imagine you'd want more than just a morning in the area when the weather is warmer too. The bonus was that it was really quiet - you'll see from the photos we were often the only family in these huge and spectacular rooms.

Botaniska trädgården, located at Lund University, is a beloved botanical garden offering a diverse collection of plants and trees. Visitors can explore the lush greenery, visit the gift shop, or relax at the charming café. The garden is a popular spot for nature enthusiasts and families, providing ample space for leisurely walks and outdoor activities. Despite being particularly picturesque during winter when trees are not in bloom, it remains an enchanting sight to behold.
A beautiful place with a nice array of colourful and diverse flowers. Known to be the biggest botanical garden in Sweden and one of the biggest in northern Europe. What adds a lot to the experience is the small hilltop which offers a great and wide view over this part of Göteborg. It is the perfect place to enjoy a nice summer walk in the pleasant warm (but not hot) nordic summer. Once done with the botanical garden, you can progress for a small walk in the nearby protected national forest. The entrance works on a honour basis, so generally if you don't have any money, you can enter for free, but there is the voluntary option of paying 30kr for entry or donating money via online money transfer methods.

I was quite impressed with the open-air museum. Apparently, throughout the last century, they have taken old buildings from around Sweden as they were about to be demolished and took them apart and reassembled them here as life-size exhibits, showing life in eras past. The 18th century parsonage and the wooden church are probably the most impressive items in this museum. But one can also visit a 1920s mason's apartment, or tan early 19th century house of a local university professor (he lived well). The whole place is very kid-friendly and one can spend anywhere between two hours or a whole afternoon there.

A beautiful open air museum about houses in Sweden from the 16th until the 20th century, some from the country-side others from villages and cities of southern Sweden. All free accessible and some with nice exhibitions. The museum is located in a city area with old buildings from the 16th century onwards worth wandering around.

A very nice open air museum with various old buildings. You can walk into some of them and see how people lived in the past. There are also various exhibitions in different museum buildings.

Wasn't really my thing in the end, but there are lots of diverse arts things to see here, so it is worth it though! I was also a bit tired this day

This museum is a must visit when you are in Lund. Every exhibition was well curated. Being an open air museum it offers both: beautiful scenery and authentic insights into life in historical Sweden.

If you are in Lund you should pay a visit to this ethnographic museum in the open..Better to visit it with good weather, though!

Sights & Landmarks
Lund Cathedral, a renowned Lutheran church in Sweden, is a must-see landmark with its 55-meter-high towers known as Lunna pagar. Dating back to 1145, the cathedral boasts historical treasures like the untouched crypt from 1123 and an astronomical clock from 1380. Designed by architect Helgo Zetterval, the main block features a classical style and faces a charming square. Visitors can also admire the impressive Kungshuset tower nearby.
Lund Cathedral is a must-see if you’re visiting southern Sweden! The architecture is absolutely stunning with it's massive stone towers-seriously impressive! The cathedral really stands out in the center of the city. It's hard to miss. Inside, it's really pretty with its stained glass and a cool astronomical clock located towards the back. Some of the people I met that came out shortly after me said they weren't allowed to see the clock or take pics. I think they start to get strict there on visitors once mass begins. It’s free to enter and is worth a stop in. A memorable landmark in Sweden for sure.

A beautiful old cathedral built around the 1100s. As with cathedrals back then, there is a crypt where kings and other important people were buried. Another really cool antique is the astrological clock that still works. Amazing place and it is definitely a must visit when in Lund.

Lund Cathedral isn’t just a place of worship — it’s a cathedral wrapped in Swedish legend, myth, and medieval wonder. From the moment you step inside, you feel the weight of centuries and stories pressing in from the stone walls and shadowy corners. The most fascinating part lies beneath the main floor — the ancient crypt, built in the early 12th century. Here stands the eerie statue of Finn the Giant, said in local legend to have built the cathedral in a single night. When the bishop tricked him out of payment, Finn tried to destroy the cathedral but was turned to stone and now stands silently guarding the crypt. It’s a chilling and unforgettable sight that adds a mythical edge to your visit. Then there’s the astronomical clock, an enchanting medieval timepiece that still functions today. Every day at noon and 3 p.m., you can watch it come to life as the Three Wise Men process before a mechanical Virgin Mary and baby Jesus, while medieval music plays. It’s like stepping straight into a fairy tale. Even if you’re not religious, the deep sense of Nordic lore, mystery, and ancient craftsmanship make this one of the most memorable cathedrals in all of Scandinavia. A must-visit for lovers of legends and the mystical past.

Very historical church , must visit and it’s near to malmo. It’s built in year 1100 and architecture is very beautiful. There is no entry ticket for this church. Usually there is lot of weddings happen in this church and some times it can be closed for visitors. There is paid parking available nearby. Lot of restaurants also nearby.

A very serene place, It is beautiful cathedral built around the 1100s. It was worth the visit for the beautiful stained glass windows and the silence. the offerings of burring the candle was satisfying

It's a magnificent ancient church that has retained its genius loci. There is an astronomical clock inside which shows not just time but also date and zodiac sign and it chimes, with moving marionettes, at noon. And this is followed by a short prayer and Bible reading, which I very much appreciated. The bookstore across the church yard is also very much worth visiting.

I really liked it. For a 1000-year-old cathedral, it's very well-preserved. Don't miss the basement, there's a very interesting crypt there.

Lund Cathedral (Swedish: Lunds domkyrka) is a cathedral of the Lutheran Church of Sweden in Lund, Scania, Sweden. It is the seat of the Bishop of Lund and the main church of the Diocese of Lund. It was built as the Catholic cathedral of the archiepiscopal see of all the Nordic countries, dedicated to Saint Lawrence. It is one of the oldest stone buildings still in use in Sweden.
