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.

Château de Foix

The Château de Foix dominates the town of Foix. An important tourist site, it is known as a centre of the Cathars. Built on an older 7th-century fortification, the castle is known from 987. In 1002, it was mentioned in the will of Roger I, Count of Carcassonne, who bequeathed the fortress to his youngest child, Bernard. In effect, the family ruling over the region were installed here which allowed them to control access to the upper Ariège valley and to keep surveillance from this strategic point over the lower land, protected behind impregnable walls.

In 1034, the castle became capital of the County of Foix and played a decisive role in medieval military history. During the two following centuries, the castle was home to Counts with shining personalities who became the soul of the Occitan resistance during the crusade against the Albigensians.
