== History == The historic town and church of Husaby are located on the south side of the Kinnekulle. Tradition says that Olof Skötkonung, the first Christian King of Sweden, was baptized here in 1008 at a well located just north of the church. The mountain of Kinnefjellet at Spitsbergen, Svalbard, is named after Kinnekulle.
