Örebro rådhus, Municipal hall on Drottninggatan, Örebro, Sweden.
Örebro Rådhus is a stone administrative building on Drottninggatan that features a striking arched window with mechanical figures inside. The structure spans multiple floors with a red brick exterior and currently houses the city's municipal services and administrative functions.
This building was constructed following the devastating 1854 fire that destroyed much of the city and displaced many residents. The stone structure was a deliberate choice to make Örebro more fire-resistant and mark the beginning of the city's modern rebuilding.
The building's name, Rådhus, means town hall in Swedish, and its prominent front has defined the character of the central square for generations. Visitors immediately notice the vertical lines and red brick elements that give the structure a clear visual identity.
The building is located in the city center on Drottninggatan and is easy to reach from public squares. The best views of the mechanical window display come from street level, where you can observe details throughout the day.
The arched window contains a mechanical clock display that activates at set times during the day to show historical scenes from Örebro's past. Each activation reveals different moments from the city's story through the movement of small figures.
