Form/Design Center showcases cutting-edge design, architecture and art. The central
cobbled courtyard is a remnant of the late-medieval town, while the historic half-timbered
houses are now home to galleries and boutiques selling Scandi-cool art, fashion, crafts,
toys and homewares. Pore over design magazines in the cafe and pick up one of the bi-
cycle maps designed to guide you to design and architectural hot spots in the city.
Sankt Petri Kyrka
CHURCH
This red-brick Gothic beast is Malmö's oldest church, built in the early 14th century. Prot-
estant zealots whitewashed the medieval frescoes in 1555, but the original wall paintings
in the
Krämarekapellet
have been successfully restored. There's a magnificent altarpiece
dating from 1611 and a votive ship in the south aisle, dedicated to all who died at sea in
WWII.
