Kungsbacka Soft rocks and long beaches

Photography: Hannah Björk

Kungsbacka was founded back in the 1500s and was Danish until 1645. The old wooden houses make their mark on the town centre, offering a picturesque at mosphere with cafes, res taurants and shops. Röda Stugan, Kungsbacka’s oldest building, is now a cosy cafe where you can enjoy waf fles and homemade cakes and pastries in the garden. The cot

tage is just a stone’s throw from Kattegattleden and the beautiful square that is framed by out door cafes in summer. The first Thursday of each month that isn’t a public holiday is market day in the square, as it has been for over 600 years. From Tölöberg, Kungsbacka’s oldest water tower from 1897, you can see almost the whole of Kungsbacka. Kungsbackaån river winds through the town,

flowing out into Kungsbacka fjorden. On the other side of the fjord, right by the sea, is Tjolöholm Castle, Sweden’s only Tudor castle. Kungsbacka is one of the top places to shop in western Swe den. The genuine and traditional are still alive, alongside with the new, modern shopping centres.
