Staffanstorp, Skåne County, Scania Province, Sweden

History | Geography

🇸🇪 Staffanstorp is a locality and the seat of Staffanstorp Municipality, Skåne County, Sweden. Staffanstorp is the largest Scanian settlement never to acquire town privileges before 1971, when they were abolished in Sweden.

History As a village it is mentioned in 14th century sources, but it would remain fairly insignificant in the shadow of more important towns such as Lund, Dalby and Malmö. An inn and the local hundred-jail with two cells were located there in the 19th century.

Staffanstorp has been the site for Housing Trade Shows, the first in 1970 with 43 furnished homes and 100.000 paying visitors, and the most recent in 1997, with 25 exhibited homes. In the 1990s the town centre was recreated with inspiration from New Urbanism. The unpopular buildings from the 1960s were literally covered by new roofs, façades and more stories built in a traditional Scanian pastiche architectural style, a couple of multi-storey buildings were added on a lot that had previously been the local stadium, and the road plan was further complicated in order to make drivers slow down and if possible avoid going through the centre at all.

Geography The town is situated at the centre of a large triangular fertile plain, reaching approximately 25 km from the Øresund strait inwards in Scania. The base of the triangle follows the coast, approximately 25 km starting in Malmö in the south.
