    Hiking

    The Kungstornen are on either side of Kungsgaten. The tower on the north side, designed by architect Sven Wallander, was completed in 1924.
    The tower on the side, with statues of Roman goddesses, is by Ivar Callmander. This tower was completed in 1925.
    With a height of approximately 60 meters, the towers were the first 'skyscrapers' of Europe, according to the Swedes.
    The towers are connected by a beautiful bridge.

    Both towers were built using a construction method that was new for the time. The supporting frame consists of reinforced concrete columns, while the facade has no load-bearing function and is only built in front. The model was the skyscrapers of Manhattan at the time.
