ABOUT ÄNGELHOLM

In this perfect location close to the sea, forests and hills, enjoying life is easy – every day! The

river Rönne runs through the town center and enters the sea in Skälderviken, adding to the

pleasant atmosphere. Six kilometers of sandy beaches, the Kronoskogen forest and the

picturesque town center are other appealing features of Ängelholm.

The town was founded by Danish king Christian II in 1516 and started attracting large numbers

of tourists at the beginning of the 20th century, when one of Sweden’s first urban summer

residential areas – Ängelholms Havsbad – was planned and built here.

Ängelholm is charming both to visit and live in and it has its share of celebrities, like singer Jill

Johnsson, former NHL player Kenny Jönsson and food creator Rickard Nilsson.
