Halmstad

Among the cities of Halland County, Halmstad is distinguished by its position where the Nissan River reaches the Kattegat. The river runs through the centre past Halmstad Castle, a Renaissance residence commissioned by Denmark’s Christian IV in the early 1600s, when Halland still belonged to Denmark. Nearby, St Nicholas Church has medieval origins, while Stora Torg remains a focal point for civic life. West of the centre, Tylösand meets the open coast with a long sandy beach. Picassoparken, beside the Nissan, is home to Pablo Picasso’s monumental Head of a Woman, installed in 1971. Explore nearby locations for complementary perspectives on Halmstad and the Halland coast.
