Lund City

Death – or penance and recovery

This city walk came about in connection with the re-opening of the Svanen pharmacy in December 2021.

Death or penance and recovery? A historical walk about medicine, health care and the Svanen pharmacy through five centuries in Lund. We pass Helgo Zettervall's villa, where the "Lufthopperiet" once had its operations. Next, we make our way up to Helgonabacken – at the beginning of the 1800th century, the center for well drinking. On the walk down towards the pharmacy, we stop at the Old Surgeon in the Södra lasarett area, continue down to Universitetsplatsen, where the Botanical Garden was located until the 1860s, and finish outside the newly renovated Svanen pharmacy.

Start: corner Sandgatan-Paradisgatan. Exit: outside the Svanen pharmacy.

Time: approx. 1,5 hours
Price: SEK 140, paid on site in cash or via Swish.
No pre-registration. Welcome!
