In 1872, a royal gift graced Malmö. King Oscar II inaugurated Kungsparken, originally known as Kung Oscars Park. This lush oasis, Malmö’s oldest park, transformed a former part of Malmöhus Castle grounds. Imagine strolling through Kungsparken today. The air is filled with the scent of over 130 exotic trees. Their leaves rustle, whispering tales from three continents. The park’s centerpiece, a magnificent cast-iron fountain, dates back to 1882. Its water dances, mimicking the drops of poison in the ancient Nordic myth of Loki’s punishment. North of this fountain lies a man-made cave, once Kungsparken’s main attraction. Renovated in 1987, it now houses a fountain depicting the serpent Ormet’s head. This serpent, according to the Icelandic Edda, dripped poison onto the captive Loki. A dramatic height difference amplifies each drop of water, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. South of the fountain, the former Park restaurant, opened by King Oscar II in 1881, stands proudly. Today, it houses Casino Cosmopol, Malmö’s sole casino. Kungsparken isn’t just a historical landmark. It’s a living testament to Malmö’s evolving identity, a vibrant space where nature and history intertwine.
