Kungstornen

The Kungstornen towers stand at 60 and 61 meters tall, featuring neoclassical architecture with 16 and 17 floors respectively along Kungsgatan street.

Architect Sven Wallander designed the north tower in 1919, completing it in 1924, while Ivar Callmander finished the south tower construction in 1925.

The buildings represent the first modern skyscrapers in Europe, drawing inspiration from Lower Manhattan's architectural developments in the early twentieth century.

The towers contain 6,054 and 10,810 square meters of floor space, primarily serving as office buildings in Stockholm's central business district.

The towers' position on a curved street section results in slightly different external designs, creating an architectural dialogue between the structures.
