Vängåvan Park and Fountain

Highlight • Structure

Together with Stora Torget on the other side of the Esplanade, Vängåvan Park forms a large green space and the heart of Sundsvall. The park, with its fountain built at the end of the 19th century, was one of the first publicly designed spaces in Sweden. During Sundsvall's rapid economic growth, the area around Vängåvan, with its several banks, became one of Sweden's most important financial centers. The fountain in the center of the park was designed by the Sundsvall artist Sofia Gisberg. It was completed on August 25, 1886, the same day as the new Läroverket (the Swedish National Library), now the Hedbergska School. The fountain was made possible by donations from A. P. Hedberg. Public artworks were rare in Swedish provincial towns at that time and considered highly exclusive.

Stora Torget (Main Square), Sundsvall

Located in the heart of Stenstan, the stone city, some of Sundsvall's most magnificent houses are situated around its main square, Stora Torget. A market is also held here regularly.

Old Town Hall (Stadshus)

Highlight • Monument

Five hundred light bulbs provided festive illumination when the town hall reopened in 1891. Severely damaged in the city fire of 1888, Sundsvall's first stone town hall, designed by Birger Oppmann and inaugurated in 1868, was restored, expanded, and modernized according to plans by Andreas Bugge. Until 1975, the building housed the city administration, which then moved to the old hospital in Norrmalm. Today, the Stadshus contains a banquet hall, a restaurant, and conference rooms. It is also still used by the city administration.

Hirschska House

Highlight • Historical Site

The Hirsch House, which occupies the entire west side of Stora Torget, was built between 1890 and 1891 by the merchant Isaak Hirsch, based on plans by Johan Laurentz and Hjalmar Kumlien. It features a Renaissance style with red brick facades and stucco ornamentation. A tower crowns the building, its spire topped with a weather vane in the shape of a golden dragon – a symbol of protection against fire, which is hardly surprising after the great city fire of 1888. The dragon's spire has become a landmark of Sundsvall. Even the name of the basketball team, the "Sundsvall Dragons," is derived from the tower's spire.

Hedbergska Park

Highlight • Natural

Hedbergska Park, the cherry tree-adorned green oasis in Sundsvall's Stenstan, was created after the city fire of 1888. Johan August Hedberg donated the land to the city, stipulating that a park be established there. The city accepted the donation and created the park in 1899. Within the park stands a portrait bust of J. A. Hedberg, erected in 1931 and sculpted by Gustav Adolf Hedblom. Also present is the sculpture "Vägval" by the artist Jack Grafström, which invites passersby to make a decision by walking through an archway labeled "Yes," "No," or "Don't know."
