Gasklockan, Gothenburg, Industrial heritage site in Gullbergsvass, Gothenburg, Sweden.
The Gasklockan building stood 81 meters tall as a twenty-sided polygon structure with an internal diameter of 46 meters in Gothenburg.
From 1933 to 1993, this gasometer stored up to 100,000 cubic meters of gas, making it part of Sweden's largest gasworks at Gullbergsvass.
The building hosted music video productions and sonic art installations before its demolition, representing the transformation of industrial spaces into cultural venues.
The structure underwent demolition in 2017 through a careful process using jackscrews, reducing its height by approximately 2 meters each day.
Two peregrine falcons nesting at the top of Gasklockan required special environmental permits before the demolition could proceed.
