Sjömanstornet, Maritime monument tower in Gothenburg, Sweden.

The Sjömanstornet reaches a height of 246 meters with 73 floors, offering views across the harbor district and central Gothenburg.

The tower stands as part of Gothenburg's maritime legacy, connecting to the city's establishment as a Dutch-influenced trading colony in 1621.

The structure incorporates residential spaces, public areas, and an observation deck, reflecting modern Swedish architectural principles and community-focused design.

Visitors can access the observation platform via dedicated elevators, while the ground level contains retail spaces and restaurants.

The tower resulted from an international design competition won by SOM architects and Copenhagen-based Entasis, marking a new direction in Nordic architecture.
