Stockholm City Hall, Historic town hall in Kungsholmen, Sweden.
Stockholm City Hall is a striking red brick building with a 106-meter tower crowned by three golden crowns rising on the eastern shore of Kungsholmen island. The structure combines Northern European brick architecture with Venetian Gothic elements, decorated with balconies, turrets, and intricate statues throughout.
Construction began in 1911 after architect Ragnar Östberg won the design competition and was completed in 1923. The building resulted from ambitious urban development efforts that shaped modern Stockholm.
The Golden Hall contains millions of mosaic tiles showing scenes from Swedish history, while the Blue Hall serves as the venue for the annual Nobel Prize banquet each year.
Guided tours are available daily in multiple languages, allowing visitors to explore the ceremonial halls and climb the tower for city views. The location is easily accessible by public transport and the grounds are simple to navigate.
The exterior displays numerous statues and reliefs depicting Swedish historical figures, lending the building a monumental quality. These artistic details tell stories of Sweden's past through their placement around the facade.
