The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether in medieval urban Lund you could find structures similar to the rural complexes with manor and private church and, if so, what these would look like.

Finally, the results from the analysis are used to suggest a chronological development of Lund manor house complexes. Some spatial aspects of the establishment of manor houses are discussed; site structures, roads and location of buildings. (Less)
