Activities
Kärnan -The Helsingborg Castle. The walls are 4 metres thick. For two centuries, Kärnan was very important as a part of the strategic defence of Denmark. In addition, Helsingborg was one of the more important towns in the Danish kingdom. However, in the 16th century when the construction of the Kronborg Royal Palace began, Kärnan lost some of its importance until a hundred years later when the wars between Sweden and Denmark broke out.
