Salthallarna is a cluster of old industrial halls in Höganäs, in the area where the town's coal and clay works once stood. Since 2009 the buildings have been a covered meeting place for food, crafts and shopping; the current name dates from 2022.

Industrial roots

Höganäs grew up around coal mining from 1797, and clay found in the mines started its ceramics industry. Salt-glazed stoneware was made here from 1947, and three of the old round kilns still stand. Saltglaserat Keramik still makes salt-glazed stoneware by hand in the halls.
