Sights

Interested in culture? Then you should visit St. Magnhild’s Spring. It is located by the road toward Hästäng. There is a memorial stone there. The legend of Saint Magnhild is connected to Fulltofta. She was a devout woman who cared for the poor and the sick. In 1215 she was murdered by her daughter-in-law. When her funeral procession rested for a while, a spring burst forth at the spot. She was later canonised by Archbishop Andreas Sunesen. Magnhild became the object of great veneration, and large crowds made pilgrimages to her grave by the church. In 1383, her remains were therefore transferred to Lund Cathedral.

Curious about the history of radio? Then you should visit Hörby Radio Association’s museum. A fascinating guided tour through radio’s unique history. You can also head to Östra Sallerup.
The Rectory Park, including Karl XI’s stones, is located here and was created based on the ideas of the priest Jöns Henriksson during the Swedish–Danish wars. The site is one of the few preserved 17th-century parks in Europe. It is shaped according to the Renaissance ideal of style and classified by the Swedish National Heritage Board. Fulltofta Church is another fascinating historical sight. It was built in the Middle Ages and features, among other things, a sandstone baptismal font.
