Henckelska gården, Helsingborg
Facts and practical information
Henckelska gården is a listed 17th-century commercial farm located on Norra Storgatan in Helsingborg. It takes its present name from the merchant Fredrik Wilhelm Henckel who owned the farm in the mid-19th century.
According to oral tradition, the farm was originally built in 1629 by the Danish king Kristian IV. The farm was demolished during the Danish occupation of Helsingborg during the Scanian War and the present main building dates from 1681. It was built in a traditional half-timbered style for the time, but the farm has been renovated and rebuilt on several occasions and the street facades are now in a more neoclassical Gustavian style.
The courtyard is dominated by the main two-storey building with its high hipped tile roof, and by its terraced garden to the south, facing Norra Storgatan, which is a unique feature of Helsingborg's townscape. The entire courtyard, together with the gazebo on the land castle, was declared a listed building in 1978.
