Day Trip to Helsingborg and Helsingör (part 2)

This is one of the many frescoes that they have at the monastery, although some are badly damaged.
The sanctuary of the monastery.
After our tour of the monastery, we had lunch in Helsingör before taking the ferry back over to Helsingborg. We walked from the ferry to the Kärnan Castle, which has the last remaining building that was part of the Castle. The tower (pictured below) was once part of a larger compound that was on a hill, surrounded by a wall and moat. It was built in the 1300's when Hensingborg was still part of Denmark.

After the tower, we went to an art museum in Hensingborg and then took the train back to Lund. It was a really fun day!
