## Summary

Lund University was founded on 19 December 1666 and inaugurated in 1668 as Regia Academia Carolina, after Scania became Swedish under the 1658 Treaty of Roskilde. It closed during a Danish invasion from 1676 to 1682, admitted its first women in 1880, and absorbed the Lund Institute of Technology (LTH) in 1969. Its buildings are spread across the city of Lund, centred on the Lundagård park.
