Lidköpings rådhus

The red-colored town hall rises three stories high with a distinctive clock tower, timber construction, and wooden shingle roof containing 25,000 oak pieces.

Originally built as a hunting lodge for Count Magnus Gabriel de la Gardie on Källandsö island, the structure was transported across Lake Vänern to Lidköping in 1672.

The building features the statue of Justitia at its peak and plays four different melodies through its carillon at specific times throughout the day.

The ground floor of the town hall contains the tourist information center and a cafe, while upper levels serve as spaces for conferences and events.

Following a fire in 1960, the Justitia statue survived a fall from the roof when it became entangled in cables above the ground.
