Lundagard (Lund Garden Park), Malmo
Positioned between Lund Cathedral, the historical museum, and the university square, Lund Garden has evolved into a cherished destination for both locals and visitors. Originally conceived as a green oasis, Lundag氓rd was designed to cater to the citizens and a burgeoning student population in the town center, which lacked substantial tree cover at the time of its creation. The park occupies ground with historical resonance, dating back to the late 9th century when it was crown land.
Among the park's venerable landmarks are the Lund Cathedral, situated on the southern edge, and King's House in the northern part. King's House, completed as a royal residence in 1584, served various roles over the centuries, including a brief period as a bishop's residence and, from around 1690 to 1882, as the first main building of the university, founded in 1666.
Lundag氓rd seamlessly transitions into the university square on its north side, leading to the current main building of the university. The square, adorned with a grand historical fountain, serves as a fitting prelude to the impressive university building inaugurated in 1882.
Beyond its historical and architectural significance, Lundag氓rd Park also plays a central role in cultural festivities. Every four years, the park becomes the vibrant stage for Lundakarnevalen, a carnival event boasting over 150 years of tradition. Organized by student associations, this lively celebration adds a spirited dimension to Lundag氓rd's multifaceted allure, making it a dynamic focal point in Lund's cultural landscape.
