Söderåkra: Local History, Golf and Swimming Spots

When planning a stay in Söderåkra, specific interests can help guide you: local history, golf, padel, swimming or a beach destination. These highlights range from historic buildings and sports facilities to sandy beaches and rock formations.

History and Historic Architecture

One historical connection dates back to 1645: in connection with the Treaty of Brömsebro, part of the Swedish delegation was stationed at the Söderåkra parsonage. Skarptorpet, a soldier’s cottage built in the 1850s, offers a glimpse of a different era. It is simple, built from round logs and topped with a turf roof. The round logs and turf roof are the materials that define the cottage’s appearance.

The four historic buildings at Söderåkra Hembygdsgård comprise a main building, a fisherman’s cottage, a barn and Emmas Stuga. Söderåkra kyrka’s proper name is Sophia Magdalena, and it is one of the parish churches of Söderåkra församling. In Övraby, scattered remains of a row village dating from the early 19th century can be found, along with numerous well-preserved agricultural outbuildings.

Kanaberg is on the road between Söderåkra and Påryd. The rock formation consists of glacial deposits of enormous boulders, with deep caves and long passages.
