Restaurang Golddragon: Wonderful Thai food outside of Thailand!
Hellomisssunshine Says: Me and my husband recently visited Ängelholm - for its nature, its peacefulness, biking and canoeing down the river. This was the last stop on our Sweden roadtrip before heading to Denmark. Little did we know that we would find a thai restaurant of this amazing standard that...
Educated Swedes and/or locals know Ängelholm as "Clay pigeon town" (Lergökasta'n) and this is because the town once had more potterers than anywhere in this clay rich region. The ocarinas were therefore created as that little extra to bring from town on market days and often given to children. Today, there is an ocarina orchestra in town which sometimes performs and it is the typical souvenir in town. You also see these yellow birds on trees and signs around town, indicating walking- or biking paths.

Ängelholm got its town charter in 1516 and by then it moved to the place it is now. In medieval days, the town was called Luntertun (as in the house in Hembygdsparken) and was situated almost by the rivermouth. Luntertun was however always buried in sand from the sea which is why it was abandoned. Today, you can visit it to see the ruins of the old town church and to see a nice area full of lovely houses and boats as the forest planted around the area has stopped the worst sand drifts. You see it from the river if you take a boat trip, in which case you will also see the island opposite which had a fortress on it in medieval days.
