Rinkaby is a locality situated in Kristianstad Municipality, Skåne County, Sweden with 745 inhabitants in 2010.[1] It is close to Lake Hammarsjön and 12 kilometres from Kristianstad. The village has a pre-school and primary school housed in a 19th century building. There is a leisure centre, a football club and some shops.
The area has Stone Age remains; the name of the village is probably derived from the word rinkʀ (Old West Norse rekkr), meaning 'man' or 'warrior', and by denotes a settlement in Old Swedish. Rinkaby Church was built in the 13th century and contains medieval murals and an astronomical clock. It is an agricultural community; in the 19th century, the area was famous for growing tobacco, but now specialises in the rearing of Angus cattle.[2]
Outside the village is a military training area called Rinkabyfältet which is often used for major Scouting events. A national jamboree called "Scout 2001" had 26,500 participants; the 22nd World Scout Jamboree in July–August 2011[3] was attended by more than 40,000 Scouts, Leaders and adult volunteers participating, from 143 different countries.[4]
