Kristianstad, situated on the Helgeå in southeastern Sweden, was founded by King Christian IV of Denmark in 1614, when Skåne still belonged to Denmark. The town was surrounded by ramparts and bastions, for it was designed as a stronghold to ward off Swedish attacks on Skåne. The layout of the town was the earliest example of Renaissance town-planning in northern Europe, with a rectangular street grid adjusted to the line of the fortifications.
Kristianstad's church is a beautiful Renaissance building, constructed by King Christian IV.
