I spent the day in Höganäs, a small town of 13550 inhabitants. In the old times it was a small fishing
village, but in the 1800’s it developed into a mining (clay and coal) village with a large ceramic
industry. Among Swedes the town is known for the salt-glazed
Höganäs jars.

3 The church, built in the 1930’s. Architect: Ivar Tengbom.

34 This house was destroyed after two arson attacks a few years ago. Now it’s been very nicely rebuilt.
Hope you enjoyed!
