Court of Appeal for Southern Norrland

The Court of Appeal for Southern Norrland is a large institutional building in Sundsvall that handles legal cases from multiple district courts across the region. The structure was designed by architects Sven Backström and Leif Reinius and forms part of a protected building complex.

The court was established in 1948 as part of Sweden's plan to expand regional judicial services. The architects created the building as a modern response to growing demands on the justice system in central Sweden.

The building shows Swedish institutional architecture from the mid-20th century and is protected as a listed structure. It reflects the straightforward, functional design approach that was typical for public buildings of that era.

The building is centrally located in Sundsvall and is easily reached by public transport. The interior spaces are clearly organized, making it easy to find your way even on your first visit.

The court is one of only six appellate institutions in Sweden and covers a particularly large geographic area. This makes it a crucial judicial hub for a substantial part of central Sweden.
