Ystad is a small charming port city in Scania or Sk\u00e5ne County<\/a>, part of southern Sweden<\/a>.<\/span><\/h5>\n

Ystad is one of the oldest cities in Sk\u00e5ne, its history going back to the 12th-13th century, when the region was Danish. The city prospered thanks to the herring trade, especially with Germany and the Hanseatic League<\/a>, and soon had a Franciscan church and cloister. Subsequently, despite the decline in herring stocks and some regional conflicts, the city maintained its dominant position on trade between Denmark and the mainland, mainly through the export of agricultural surpluses and beef.<\/p>\n

The passage of the city, with the whole region, under the control of Sweden did not affect this position. However, in the nineteenth century, the city failed to follow the developments and industrialization that the country was undergoing, and therefore suffered a relative decline, losing its predominant position. Nowadays, Ystad is no more than a small town, but its historical heritage is still visible in its old streets and its many half-timbered houses that make the city a first-class tourist attraction in Sk\u00e5ne. This, as well as a nascent film industry, represent growing sectors of the city’s economy, still dominated by trade and transport. Ystad also inspired the writer Henning Mankell, who set the scene for his detective series.<\/p>\n
