Norre Katts park

Norre Katts Park is as central to the city as it is to the hearts of Halmstad residents. The land, which used to be part of the old fortifications, was bought in 1843 by the innkeeper A J Sjögren. He created an attractive entertainment area for the city's residents called Tivoli. Over the years, the park has housed a botanical garden, a train station, several restaurants, a hot and cold bathhouse and a music pavilion. In 1918, the park was renamed Norre Katts park. In 1968, Stockholm City Gardener Holger Blom made a design proposal for the park, which took into account the historical character of the area with its fortifications, which is the basis for today's design of the bastion and the park.
