The battle started 08.30 and 16.30 the battle was over, the Swedes were the victors after an unusually bloody struggle that cost 9000 lives.
Today, there is a memorial from 1876 over the battle of Lund in Monument Park, where the battle took place.
The monument in obelisk form was designed by Helgo Zettervall and inaugurated in 1883. On the monument is the inscription "1676 on December 4, people of the same tribe fought and bled here. Reconciled descendants erected the memorial." to celebrate the battle between the two closely related peoples.
The monument was originally built in concrete, but was replaced in 1930 with a more durable copy in granite.
On the monument is another inscription: " Here lie handsome men whose legs and blood are mixed together. Even though they were of the same tribe, they could not keep peace."
