Lundagård is a park in the middle of the historic city center of Lund. It borders the university square on one side and the cathedral on the other. The park is home to Kungshuset, a former bishop's residence, then one of the university buildings, and now a historical museum.
The park was founded in 1745 according to the design of the royal architect Carl Hårleman. Originally it was a botanical garden. It was not opened to the public until the mid-19th century.
Initially, the name Lundagård referred to the archbishop's fortress, built in the 12th century near the cathedral. The garden adjacent to the fortress was surrounded by a wall and separated it from the rest of the city. Three gates led to the garden, of which only one has survived, which is now the entrance to the Kulturen Museum.
