Guldhedstornet, Water tower in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Guldhedstornet is a water tower in Gothenburg that reaches approximately 130 meters in height, making it the tallest structure in the city. The cylindrical form contains student apartments and public facilities including a café accessible to visitors.
The tower was designed by architect Nils Einar Eriksson and completed in 1953 as part of the city's water supply system. A major renovation in 2008 transformed part of its interior into student housing.
A rooftop café offers refreshments and light meals while you take in views of the waterfront and city center below.
The public café area is accessible by elevator inside the building and open to visitors without restrictions. Planning your visit for quieter times of day helps you enjoy the views more peacefully.
The apartments inside have circular floor plans that follow the tower's round shape, with sizes ranging from about 28 to 43 square meters. This architectural feature gives each unit an unusual character that visitors can observe from the café areas.
