Härnösand - Town

Nybrogatan runs from the mainland on to the island of Härnö on which lies the old part of the town. The Town Hall with its circular portico (by Olof Tempelmann, 1791) is one of Härnösand's finest buildings. The neo-classical Cathedral (1846; restored 1935) has a beautiful Baroque organ-case and 17th century chandeliers. To the west of the Cathedral is the Market Square, with the old Governor's Residence (Länsresidens; 18th C.). A notable feature is the sculpture, "Evolution", by the Norwegian sculptor Hagbart Solløs.

In the Municipal Park can be seen a statue by Carl Milles of Frans Michael Franzén, who was bishop of Härnösand from 1831 to 1847 and was also a notable poet.
