LANDSKRONA

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 168 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KRO-LAP
LANDSKRONA , a seaport of Sweden, on the
east
  side of the Sound, 15 m. N.E. of
Copenhagen
 . Pop. (1900) 14,399. The harbour is excellent, giving a depth of 35 ft., with 15 ft. beside the quays. The town is among the first twelve manufacturing centres of Sweden in value of output, the
principal
 
industries
  being tanning and
sugar
  manufacture and refining from beetroot. On the little
island
  of Hven, immediately opposite the town, Tycho Brahe built his famous subterranean
observatory
  of Uranienborg in the second half of the 16th century. Landskrona, originally called Landora or Landor, owed its first importance to King Erik NIII., who introduced a
body
  of Carmelite monks from Germany in 1410, and bestowed on the place the privileges of a town. During the wars of the 16th and 17th centuries it played too conspicuous a
part
  for its own prosperity. On the 24th of July 1677 a
great
  naval battle was fought in the neighbourhood in which the Swedes defeated the Danes.
