Spirit of Hven Backafallsbyn, building in Landskrona Municipality, Skåne County, Sweden
Spirit of Hven Backafallsbyn is a countryside hotel in Landskrona Municipality, Sweden, with guest rooms, a restaurant, and an on-site distillery. The estate also features walking paths through open fields, outdoor seating areas, and a whisky bar where spirits made on the property are served.
The estate operated as a working farm for centuries before it was turned into a hotel. Some of the original farm structures were kept during the conversion and can still be seen today.
The name Backafallsbyn points to an old farming village, and that rural character still shapes the place today. Meals draw on ingredients from nearby farms, and the pace of the estate follows the rhythm of the countryside rather than that of a city hotel.
The hotel sits in open countryside close to the coast and is easy to reach from nearby towns. Bringing comfortable clothes and sturdy shoes is a good idea, as walking the fields and outdoor paths is a central part of a stay here.
The distillery on the property produces spirits under the Spirit of Hven label, a brand named after the small island of Hven located just off the nearby coast. That island was once home to the astronomer Tycho Brahe, which gives the brand an unexpected connection to one of Scandinavia's most storied scientific figures.
