history

Rinkaby Church

In the area around Rinkaby there are numerous sites from the Stone and Bronze Ages . The place has been permanently settled since the 9th century.

The church of Rinkaby was built in the mid-13th century. The original church ceiling was replaced at the end of the 15th century by a Gothic vaulted ceiling decorated with frescoes of the Vittskövle group .

In 1651 the entire place was destroyed by a devastating fire.

The agricultural community was one of the focal points of Swedish tobacco growing between 1800 and 1960 . The fourteen preserved tobacco kilns are listed as a historical monument.

In 1945/46, members of the German Wehrmacht who had fled to Sweden and were handed over to the Soviet authorities as part of the Baltic extradition were interned on the neighboring military site .

Infrastructure

Länsväg 118 and Åhusbanan , which is closed for regular passenger traffic , run through Rinkaby, and both connect Kristianstad with Åhus . A long-term resumption of passenger traffic on Åhusbanan, possibly as a tram-train , is currently being investigated.
