Monument to Charles August

It is famous as the death site of Charles August, Crown Prince of Sweden in 1810.[2] Crown Prince was inspecting the Scanian Hussar Regiment troops on its training ground Kvidinge Heath at Kvidinge when a dizzy spell caused him to fall from his horse, where he died of a heart attack.[3] Crown Prince Charles John (later King Karl XIV Johan) proposed that a memorial to the incident would be raised. City architect Carl Christoffer Gjörwell was commissioned to design the monument, which was completed in 1826. The monument was destroyed by a lightning strike on 23 June 2025. [4]
