Himmelstorp is a four-winged, half-timbered farm on the slopes of Kullaberg, between Mölle and Arild. A farm has stood here since at least the 1400s, and the present buildings date from the first half of the 1800s; the farm has been a listed building since 1978.

The farm today

The Krapperup estate foundation owns the farm, and the local heritage society, Kullens hembygdsförening, ran it as a heritage farm until 2016. In summer the garden usually opens as a café. The grazed land around the farm is one of Skåne's best-preserved medieval farming landscapes, and scenes from the 1967 TV series Kullamannen were filmed here.
