Kode: Landscape, Church History and Golf
Accommodation in Kode
Landscape and Getting There
Kode borders the expansive agricultural landscape of Solbergaslätten to the north, west and south. This agriculturally dominated valley gives the area a distinct connection to its surroundings. If the landscape is your main consideration when choosing a destination, the fact that it borders the area on three sides is a useful guide.
There is commuter parking at Kode railway station, with a maximum parking period of 24 hours. Take this limit into account when planning, and check the parking rules again before setting off.
The directions from Kodemotet to Aröds bathing area go via Solberga. After just over 2 kilometres, turn right at Solbergaboden towards Stenungsund; after another 1.8 kilometres, turn left towards Aröd. The second distance follows the first. This helps you follow the two turns in sequence. The details answer different planning questions: at the station, the maximum parking period matters; on the drive from Kodemotet, it is the order of the turns.
Church History in Solberga
Nearby Solberga Church was built in the 12th or 13th century. It acquired its present appearance through extensive renovations and restoration in 1926. These are distinct time periods: construction dates to the 12th or 13th century, while the church’s present appearance dates to 1926. This makes it possible to distinguish its medieval building history from later alterations.
The church also houses an intricately carved soapstone baptismal font from the early 13th century, attributed to the school of Master Thorkillus. The date places the font in its historical period, while the attribution identifies its art-historical connection. This individual object adds a distinctive craft element to the history of the church building.
Golf and Local Activities
Kungälv-Kode Golfklubb has an 18-hole golf course open to members and green-fee guests. If you plan to play golf, check the current operating conditions before your trip.

SkĂĄra GĂĄrdsbageri is located between Kode and Marstrand in a rural setting.
