Listers härads tingshus, Sölvesborg

The brick building features a temple-like gable, crescent-shaped entrance vault, and a circular courtroom that extends from the rear section.

Constructed between 1919 and 1921 by architect Gunnar Asplund, the courthouse served judicial proceedings until its relocation to Karlshamn in 2001.

The building represents Nordic Classicism architecture and contains original wooden panels, furniture, clocks, and judicial equipment designed by Asplund himself.

The former courthouse opens for public visits on Tuesdays from 11:00 to 15:00 during the summer period between June 28 and August 9.

The round shapes incorporated throughout the building design were influenced by the pregnancy of architect Asplund's wife during the construction period.
