Helsingborg - Town Hall

At the lower end of Stortorget in Helsingborg is a statue (by J. Börjesson, 1901) of the Swedish general Count Magnus Stenbock (1664-1717), erected to commemorate his victory over the Danes to the north of Helsingborg in 1710. Opposite it stands the neo-Gothic Town Hall (1870), with a 70m/230ft high tower and stained glass windows depicting events in the history of the town. In front of the Town Hall are Norwegian and Danish memorial stones, commemorating the assistance given by Sweden when these countries were occupied by the Germans during the Second World War.

From the foot of Stortorget, Järnvägsgatan runs southeast, passing the railroad station and boat terminal and the Municipal Library (1965).
