history
The place name was first mentioned in 1575. Bricks for the construction of Kronborg Castle in Helsingör were shipped in "Dompsthenen". Traces of Stone Age settlement have also been found in the area. In 1711 the plague raged in Domsten and the surrounding area. You can still see the plague cemetery on Bygatan street today. In the 19th century, fishing developed as an important source of income. The first summer houses were built in the last century. The municipality has now become a popular place to live near the city of Helsingborg. The number of residents has roughly doubled since 1970.
