When the Rifles Fell Silent. A story about the rebirth of Lund.

The Battle of Lund is known today as the bloodiest battle in Nordic history. But what happened after the fighting ended? How did Lund once again become a cultural metropolis during the 18th and 19th centuries? What did the city look like when Linnaeus studied here, when King Charles XII resided here—and what took place during the lifetime of the poet Tegnér? Join us on a guided walk through a transformative period in Lund’s history, from devastation to renewal. The tour begins outside Östgöta Nation on Adelgatan and ends at Tegnérsplatsen. Duration: approximately 1 hour. Saturday 30 May: 14.00. Available in Swedish at 10.30 and 12.30.
