LUND – A thousand years of history, all in walking distance Lund is a vibrant city of contrasts. Here, among cobblestones and half-timbered houses, you meet people from all over the world and there is always something going on. The University and its close on 40,000 students make a clear impact on the city, with student burlesques, student bars and lively cafes. The Middle Ages is ever present in Lund's beautiful city centre, but the future is being created just a stone's throw away. Historic Lund

On the outskirts of Lund

Lund is one of the oldest cities in Sweden, founded by the Danish king Sweyn Forkbeard around 990 AD. At that time Skåne belonged to Denmark and remained so for over 600 years.

Flyinge, on the outskirts of Lund, is one of the world's oldest operational stud farms. It is a unique equestrian centre frequented by both horse enthusiasts and people interested in history. Dalby, just 15 minutes to the east by bus, boasts the oldest stone church in the Nordics. The Holy Cross Church is beautifully situated on the hill overlooking the plain and the sea in the distance.

When you approach the city you see the cathedral towers – locally called "Lunna pågar" from a distance. Lund Cathedral is attracting around 700,000 visitors per year. This magnifient cathedral is the best example of Romanesque architecture in Scandinavia, with beautiful sacred stained glass windows and an outstanding pulpit from the late 16th Century.

The Future Two of the world’s leading materials research facilities are currently under construction in Lund. The two facilities will be of decisive importance for future scientific and industrial development in both material science and life science.

Just a stone's throw from the cathedral is the world's second oldest open-air museum, Kulturen. The museum consists of two exciting areas with historic buildings and gardens. Step into the houses and experience life in the city and in the countryside, from the Middle Ages to the 1930s
