After the castle, we loaded back on the bus and drove to, Åhus which is a town that was founded in 800AD. It used to be a large craft and trade center in Sweden, but suffered a decline during the Reformation. In the 20th century Åhus has grown drastically, becoming a very popular summer vacation spot. In the summer, the population of Åhus almost triples. Another note about Åhus is that the company that makes Absolute Vodka started and is still based in the city.
An old wall in the middle of a residential area.... very odd.
People playing hockey on the river that runs through Åhus. The houses on the banks are very beautiful vacation homes, all with private docks.
The Maria church, which was built in the 12th century.
Docks along the river
