Ängelholm is a locality and the seat of Ängelholm Municipality in Scania, Sweden with 42,131 inhabitants in 2017.
==History== The city was founded in 1516 as Engelholm by King Christian II of Denmark, who moved the settlement from Luntertun on the coast because it was difficult to defend. As a founder, King Christian II personally identified the boundaries of the new city, granting the city a charter in 1516. At Luntertun there is only a church garden left today.
