At HELSINGBORG only a narrow sound separates Sweden from Denmark; indeed, Helsingborg was Danish for most of the Middle Ages, with a castle controlling the southern regions of what is now Sweden. The town's enormously important strategic position meant that it bore the brunt of repeated attacks and rebellions, the Swedes conquering the town on six separate occasions, only to lose it back to the Danes each time. Finally, in 1710, a terrible battle saw off the Danes for the last time, and the battered town lay dormant for almost two hundred years, depopulated and abandoned. Only in the nineteenth century, when the harbour was expanded and the railway constructed, did Helsingborg find new prosperity. Today, the dramatically redeveloped harbour area has breathed new life into this likeable, relaxed town which is well worth a day's stay for its bars, cafés and cosily buzzing atmosphere.
Directly south of the the North Harbour café-bars, the strikingly designed Henry Dunker Cultural House , named after the city's foremost industrialist benefactor, aims to provide a full vision of the city's history in context and also houses a theatre and concert hall (ask at the tourist office). East from Hamntorget and the harbours, the massive, neo-Gothic Rådhus marks the bottom of Stortorget , the long thin square sloping up to the lower battlements of what's left of Helsingborg's castle, the kärnan or keep (daily: April, May & Sept 9am-4pm; June-Aug 10am-7pm; Oct-March 10am-2pm; 15kr), a fourteenth-century brick tower, the only survivor from the original fortress. The views from the top are worth the entrance fee although you don't miss much from the lower (free) battlements. Off Stortorget, Norra Storgatan contains Helsingborg's oldest buildings, attractive seventeenth- and eighteenth-century merchants' houses with quiet courtyards.
