Living history – The sin in Mölle
In addition to its ceramics and nature, Kullen is also known for the fishing bed in Mölle, which attracted big headlines and celebrities of the time when men and women began making pilgrimages here to bathe together in the 1890s. It was completely unheard of and not well seen in all circles and therefore the whole movement was nicknamed 'Sinden i Mölle'.
It was rumored, and at the turn of the century and in the years leading up to the First World War, one bathing hotel and guest house appeared after another, and in the years leading up to the First World War, Mölle became one of the most visited places in Europe and people came from far and wide to watch the antics and be seen!
Today, history lives on with pride. At Ranasvik Havsveranda, which was a regular meeting place for bathing sinners, the atmosphere lives on with soft jazz and old pictures of happy people in striped bathing suits. At Hotel Villa Brunby, you can borrow a retro variant of a bathing suit from that time and take a dip by the rocks in Arild and the hotel's party venue – an atmospheric old barn has funnily enough also drawn inspiration from history and is called Syndes lade.
Höganäs Ceramics
For many, Höganäs is synonymous with ceramics and most nod in recognition to the unique brown salt glazing technique that is found on jars, dishes, vases etc. and which is still produced today. It all started in the infancy of industrialization in the 17th century with coal mining. Höganäs went from being a small fishing community to a coal mining community with an iron powder industry and one of Sweden's first railways in just a few years. After a few years, coal sales fell and they settled down in the 1820s and built a brickworks for clay production and the rest is history - Höganäs ceramics became a household brand.
To that extent, the ceramics lives on in Höganäs and at Kullen. A visit to Salthallarna is a historic whirlwind where a few preserved ovens form the framework for shops, restaurants, breweries etc. In addition, you can go inside and see how the salt glazing technique is turned. You can also visit KKAM, which is both a museum and an active workshop that offers spinning courses for groups.
