Read moreErected on the heights of the city, the Kärnan tower has watched over Helsingborg for more than 600 years. 35 m high, its walls are 4,50 m thick. It served as a defense tower and a lookout to prevent attacks by Danish troops. After the end of the Nordic wars, the fortress fell into disrepair and all the buildings were destroyed except for the tower which was restored in 1894. From the top (after having climbed the 188 steps!), a superb view on the bay and, in the distance, the contours of the Danish neighbor Helsingør.
