Skrapan, Modern skyscraper in Västerås, Sweden

Skrapan is a modern tower building that rises 81 meters above the Västerås skyline with its glass and steel structure dominating the urban landscape. The building stands in a central location and its slender form makes it the most recognizable high-rise in the city.

Skrapan was designed by architect Boris Culjat. Construction began in 1988 and the building was completed in 1990. At that time it was Sweden's third-tallest building; it is now the country's fourteenth-tallest. In mid-2012 it was decided to convert the then shopping gallery into offices because of low occupancy.

The building's name, "Skrapan" ("The Scraper"), is the everyday Swedish nickname for this 81-metre tower. Inside are a Best Western Plus Hotel Plaza, the ICA Skrapan grocery store and a McDonald's on the ground floor, offices, flats and student housing. On the 23rd floor is the Sky Spa and on the 24th the Sky Bar, with a view over Lake Mälaren.

The building is centrally located in Västerås and easy to reach on foot or by public transport. The Skybar on the top floor is open to visitors and offers unobstructed views of the city and surrounding waters.

Skrapan was Sweden's third-tallest building when it was completed in 1990; it is now the country's fourteenth-tallest, and the Swedish Wikipedia lists it as Västerås's second-highest building. Its stairwell has hosted vertical races, including a 2019 relay in which about 600 runners climbed the 25 floors 10,115 times for Musikhjälpen.
