Kvidinge is a locality situated in Åstorp Municipality, Skåne County, Sweden with 1,854 inhabitants in 2010.

It is famous as the death site of Charles August, Crown Prince of Sweden in 1810.

[2] Crown Prince was inspecting the Scanian Hussar Regiment troops on its training ground Kvidinge Heath at Kvidinge when a dizzy spell caused him to fall from his horse, where he died of a heart attack.

[3] Crown Prince Charles John (later King Karl XIV Johan) proposed that a memorial to the incident would be raised.

City architect Carl Christoffer Gjörwell was commissioned to design the monument, which was completed in 1826.
