Vallåkra

Vallåkra is a village located in Skåne County, southern Sweden, within the municipality of Landskrona. It is primarily known for its clay deposits and historical tile manufacturing industry. The name "Vallåkra" is derived from the Swedish words "vall," referring to a grassy field or embankment, and "åker," meaning field.

The area has a long history of ceramic production, with Vallåkra tiles being a significant product. The specific clay found in Vallåkra is particularly well-suited for tile making, contributing to the region's historical economic activity. While tile production has decreased in recent years, the name Vallåkra remains associated with quality tiles within Sweden.
