Kristianopel, a modest village on the Baltic coast in Sweden's Blekinge region, was once a city in the 17th century and is said to have been the first Renaissance-planned town in the Nordic countries. Its city walls, built between 1603 and 1606 after Italian models, still stand — best preserved on the southern and western sides — along with a windmill on the northern bastion.
