Turn left through the pedestrian zone of Ystad and there you will see this colorful wonder. Simply an eye-catcher that invites you to continue on your way. It is definitely worth it. Then marvel at the small alleys and walk into the sea of flowers in the parks. Simply a must when you are in Ystad.

After the north and west wings were demolished around 1600, the former Franciscan monastery today only consists of the east wing and the monastery church of St. Peter. The complex is surrounded by beautiful gardens laid out in the monastic style

St. Mary's Church was built around 1200 and is the oldest building in the city. Since the 18th century, the bell ringer has been blowing the bell from the church tower to announce that everything is quiet.
