KRISTIANSTAD – probably the most Danish city in Sweden I was making a road trip in Scania with my dad on Easters day. We were visiting Hässleholm, Sösdala, Höör, Hörby, Sösdala, Vinslöv, Tollarp and Kristianstad. It was very unlucky with the weather, it was raining the whole time until we reached Kristianstad, and since that is by far the nicest of these places this whole thread is dedicated to Kristianstad.



Kristianstad is the residence city of Scania (Skåne) and the landscape's 4th largest city. The city has about 34 000 inhabitants (76 000 in the metro). It is located in the northeast part of Scania. Sweden's lowest point is situated in the city. The city was founded in 1614 by King Christian IV of Denmark, as a symbol of himself and to guard the then Danish province Scania from Sweden. It is still an important military seat. Kristianstad is sometimes called "Lilla Paris" because the main streets are called "boulevards". Kristianstad is also said to be the city with most bats in Sweden and there are many artists in the city.





Tivoligatan. The architecture in Kristianstad looks more Danish then Swedish.

Stora Kronohuset is a former military building with a courthouse at Stora Torg. The odd white figure in front of the building is the world's largest doll! It is called La Grande Bébé and is 23 meter high. It has also been displayed in Grand Rapids, MI, USA.
