The shipbuilding town of Landskrona was granted its charter in the fifteenth century. In 1549, the Danish king Christian III built the Citadel as protection against the Swedes. This substantial fortress surrounded by a moat dominates the town.

Most of the sights can be found in the area around it, including Landskrona Museum, with its local history collection, and Art Gallery surrounded by a sculpture park.

In the sound between Sweden and Denmark lies the island of Ven, where Tycho Brahe set up his underground observatory, Stjarneborg, in the 1580s. The Tycho Brahe Museum features multimedia shows about the observatory.

There is a ruined castle on Ven, Uraniborg, and at the highest point of the island stands the medieval church of St Ibb. Steep Backafallen is the place for the most spectacular views.
