Ängelholm is alocality and the seat ofÄngelholm Municipality inScania,Sweden with 42,131 inhabitants in 2017.^[1]

History

The city was founded in 1516 as Engelholm by KingChristian II of Denmark, who moved the settlement from Luntertun on the coast because it was difficult to defend.^[2]^[3] As a founder, King Christian II personally identified the boundaries of the new city, granting the city a charter in 1516. At Luntertun there is only a church garden left today.

The town remained small for centuries. Following theTreaty of Roskilde in 1658, Ängelholm, together with the rest of Skåne, was assigned by Denmark to Sweden. The town began to grow in the 19th century due to industrialization. It was also agarrison town until 1883 and had aSwedish Air Force base between 1941 and 2009. The older spellingEngelholm was retained until 1912, when the city council decided to adopt a more modern spelling in line with the Swedishspelling reform of 1906. The high-performance car manufacturerKoenigsegg Automotive is based on the premises of the decommissionedScania Wing (F 10).^[4]

Contemporary

Tourism is an important industry for the city. There is a six-kilometer-long sandy beach right outside the town. The winds inSkälder Bay make the beach a popular place forsailors,wave surfers andwind surfers.

There is also an ice cream manufacturer,Engelholms Glass which produces about 1.2 million litres of ice-cream every year.

A special sight of Ängelholm is theUFO-Memorial Ängelholm.^[5]

The city is known for itsclay cuckoos — a special kind ofocarina. This is, however, a dying tradition as there is now only one producer of clay cuckoos, Sofia Nilsson.^[6] Ängelholm has the only orchestra of clay cuckoos in the whole world, which performed at the "Allsång på Skansen" in 2007.^[7]

Ängelholm is also the home of hockey teamRögle BK that competes in theSHL.^[8]
