context_page_description: Arild is a locality situated in Höganäs Municipality, Skåne County, Sweden with 522 inhabitants in 2010. It is located in the bay of Skälderviken in north-western Scania, approximately 30 km north of Helsingborg in Sweden. Arild belongs to Brunnby parish with its seat in Brunnby. The parish is represented in Arild by Arilds Chapel. The village was mostly concentrated around the chapel and the shoreline but has come to extend uphill towards Kullaberg, creating height differences between the various parts of the village. The coastline surrounding the village and the majority of the northern shore of the Kullen peninsula is mountainous.
context_section_description: The majority of the older architecture of Arild is located nearby to the small harbour that has been the center of the village together with the chapel since the early days. The construction of the current harbour started in 1841 and carried on with improvements until 1926. Improvements were made in 1934 and 1958 when the pier was extended and a small lighthouse was built respectively. The architecture surrounding the harbour dates back to the years when the population of Arild largely consisted of fishermen, these houses differ greatly from the rest of the village architecture in design. The majority of these houses were built around the beginning of the 20th century but some houses dates back to the 17th century and the 18th century. The local chapel Arilds Chapel is located not far from the harbour and dates back to the 15th century when it was first mentioned in a letter. The chapel was built in Sankt Arilds honour on the site of his burial according to the Arild Legend.
