Sigtuna rådhus, Town hall in Sigtuna, Sweden
Sigtuna Town Hall is a wooden structure at the town center with a steep gabled roof, decorated windows, and traditional Swedish architectural details. Built in 1744, the structure incorporates materials from the previous civic building that occupied the site.
Mayor Eric Kihlman designed and built the structure in the mid-1700s, reusing materials from an earlier town hall. The interior underwent modernization in the 1900s, with functional spaces such as police cells removed during these renovations.
The building reflects Sigtuna's role as a medieval trading town and continues to define the community's identity with its distinctive presence. Local residents gather in the surrounding square, which serves as the heart of town life.
The building is freely accessible from the outside and anchors the town center throughout the year. For interior visits and guided tours, check ahead for current opening times and availability.
At roughly 60 square meters, this is one of the smallest town halls in the region. The clock on the facade was crafted by a local blacksmith and represents the skilled trades that historically defined the town.
