A lovely church. Classic church room with a modern touch. Nice soundscape for music performances and a newly renovated lovely organ that is truly integrated into the church.

If you love Scania, you should go here. This church that is like a cathedral. In the middle of the Scanian landscape. A must see before resting there.

The church is built in neo-gothic style, it resembles a cathedral. The church was inaugurated in 1897, when it replaced an older church that was demolished in 1895, from which, among other things, the baptismal font, the statue of Jesus and the large chandelier closest to the altar come from. The church was built predominantly with material from Asmundtorp's brickworks. It is a welcoming and warm church with a beautiful, loving and welcoming statue of Jesus. The statue is made in a single piece of marble.

Nice neo-Gothic church. Suitable for experiencing choirs and concerts in addition to the fine church work in the congregation.

A "cathedral" in the middle of the countryside! Pampish and beautiful, both outside and inside.

Beckov Castle

The Beckov castle stands on a steep 50 m tall rock in the village Beckov. The dominance of the rock and impression of invincibility it gaves, challenged our ancestors to make use of these assets. The result is a remarkable harmony between the natural setting and architecture.

The castle first mentioned in 1200 was originally owned by the King and later, at the end of the 13th century it fell in hands of Matúš Èák. Its owners alternated - at the end of the 14th century the family of Stibor of Stiborice bought it.

The next owners, the Bánffys who adapted the Gothic castle to the Renaissance residence, improved its fortifications preventing the Turks from conquering it at the end of the 16th century. When Bánffys died out, the castle was owned by several noble families. It fell in decay after fire in 1729.

The history of the castle is the subject of different legends.
