This is a great church in northern Lund. It was completed in 1901 on the same site as an old medieval church. Norra Nöbbelöv's church is located where the battle of Lund in 1676 ended and a memorial stone next to the church has been erected to commemorate the battle and the 9,000 who died

A beautiful and quite small church built between 1900-1901 but with interior objects that dates back to 1100 century. It’s surrounded by lush greenery (in the summer) and within walking distance from Nöbbe mosse and close to valkärra kyrka. A historical mass grave with soldiers from the battle of Lund (war between Denmark and Sweden) was found 1995 and is marked out by the side.

Church of St Donatus

The Church of St Donatus name refers to Donatus of Zadar, who began construction on this church in the 9th century and ended it on the northeastern part of the Roman forum. It is the largest Pre-Romanesque building in Croatia.

The beginning of the building of the church was placed to the second half of the 8th century, and it is supposed to have been completed in the 9th century. The Zadar bishop and diplomat Donat (8th and 9th centuries) is credited with the building of the church. He led the representations of the Dalmatian cities to Constantinople and Charles the Great, which is why this church bears slight resemblance to Charlemagne's court chapels, especially the one in Aachen, and also to the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna. It belongs to the Pre-Romanesque architectural period.

The circular church, formerly domed, is 27 m high and is characterised by simplicity and technical primitivism.
