Scania (Skåne in Swedish pronunciation (help· info)) is a geographical region of Sweden on the southernmost tip of the Scandinavian peninsula, a historical province (landskap)^[1] of the Kingdom of Sweden, since 1997 a county (Län) of Sweden, before 1658 part of the Kingdom of Denmark. To the north, it borders the provinces Halland, Småland and Blekinge, to the east and south the Baltic Sea, and to the west the Oresund strait. It is part of the transnational Oresund Region. Around 130 km long from north to south, it covers less than 3% of Sweden's total area. The population of 1,200,000 represent 13% of Sweden's total population.

County

The administrative subdivision in Scania is since 1997 called Skåne County. The boundaries of the subdivision are almost identical to the unofficial boundaries of the province of Scania. Before 1997, Scania was divided into two administrative counties, Kristianstad and Malmöhus counties. The arms for the new county is based on the Danish era arms for the city of Malmö, which was also used to create the arms for the province of Scania. As opposed to the province arms, the arms for the county has the red and yellow colors reversed and a crown, beak and tongue in yellow instead of blue. When the county arms is shown with a Swedish royal crown, it represents the County Administrative Board, which is the regional presence of (royal) government authority.

Following the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658, the entire Terra Scania became a possession of the Swedish Crown. Bornholm was returned to Denmark, while the other provinces were successively incorporated into Sweden.

Geography and environmental factors

The geography of Scania was shaped by the last ice age, the Weichsel glaciation, a time when it was totally covered with ice. Hallandsåsen and Söderåsen are major landmarks but contrary to popular belief, they are not ridges left behind by the retreating ice but horsts formed by tectonic activity along the Tornquist zone.

Culture

Scania's long-running and sometimes intense trade relations with other communities along the coast of the European continent through history has made the culture of Scania distinct from other geographical regions of Sweden. Its open landscape, often described as a colorful patchwork quilt of corn and rape fields, and the relatively milder climate at the southern tip of the Scandinavian peninsula, have inspired many Swedish artists and authors compare it to European regions like Provence in southern France and Zeeland in Holland. Among the many authors who have described the "foreign" continental elements of the Scanian landscape, diet and customs are August Strindberg and Carl Linneaus.^[8] In 1893 August Strindberg wrote about Scania: "In beautiful, large wave lines, the fields undulate down toward the lake; a small deciduous forest limits the coastline, which is given the inviting look of the Riviera, where people shall walk in the sun, protected from the north wind. [...] The Swede leaves the plains with a certain sense of comfort, because its beauty is foreign to him." In another chapter he states: "The Swedes have a history that is not the history of the South Scandinavians. It must be just as foreign as Vasa’s history is to the Scanian."^[9] Image File history File links ScaniaFarm. ... Image File history File links ScaniaFarm. ...

Scanian dialects have various local native idioms and speech patterns, and realizes diphthongs and South Scandinavian uvular /r/-sounds, as opposed to the supradental /r/-sound characteristic of spoken Standard Swedish. They are very similar to the dialect of Danish spoken in Bornholm, Denmark. The prosody of the Scanian dialects have more in common with German, Danish and Dutch (and sometimes also with English, although to a lesser extent) than with the prosody of central Swedish dialects.^[10].

The old churches that cover the Scanian countryside often stem from the medieval age. Due to church renovations in the 19th century, mainly by architects Carl Georg Brunius and later Helgo Zetterwall, many were renovated and extended, and some were torn down to give room for new. From those that kept its authentic touch we see how the churches of what was then Denmark once looked like with their distinctive stepped gavels and sturdy church porch, and usually made of stone. The most distinctive church building in Scania, the only rival being Uppsala Cathedral, is Lund Cathedral, built in the 11th century in sandstone from Höör (now much darkened). In addition, there is the gothic Saint Petri Church in Malmö dating from the early 14th century. Similar buildings can be found in all Hansa cities around the Baltic Sea (such as Helsingborg and Rostock). The churches in the countryside did not have the means for such extravagant buildings. Possibly the most notable countryside church is the ancient and untouched stone church in Dalby. It is the oldest stone church in Sweden, built around the same time as Lund cathedral. After the Lund Cathedral was built, many of the involved workers travelled around the province and used their acquired skills to make baptism fonts, paintings and decorations, and naturally architectural constructions.
