Arild is a small fishing village on the Skälderviken shore at the eastern end of Kullaberg. The old houses curve around the harbor below a wooded slope, and newer villas climb the terraces above.
The chapel
Arild's white chapel, first mentioned in 1475, is Skåne's only medieval fishing-village chapel. Inside are a votive ship and an altarpiece, both from 1738, and the small churchyard around it holds only people drowned at sea.
Painters and summer guests
From the mid-1800s artists came for the light off the sea and the fishing community. The Danish painter Viggo Pedersen ran a painting school here, and Prince Eugen, Richard Bergh and Nils Kreuger all worked in Arild. Summer guests were quieter and grander than in lively Mölle.
