Stadshuset, Sundsvall, Town hall in Sundsvall, Sweden.
Stadshuset is the town hall of Sundsvall and serves as a civic building for municipal administration. Its entrance features three double doors framed by ornate iron brackets and architectural projections that create a strong visual impact.
A stone town hall designed by Birger Oppman was inaugurated in 1868, replacing earlier timber town halls destroyed by fires in 1721, 1764 and 1803. After the 1888 city fire, architect Andreas Bugge restored and enlarged it in a more modern style; it reopened in 1891 with 500 light bulbs and zinc statues on the roof.
The Spegelsalen's ceiling paintings were made by Carl Grabow, and zinc statues were placed on the roof after the 1891 rebuilding. The building now houses a banquet hall, restaurant and conference rooms, and parts of Sundsvall Municipality's operations, including Näringsliv och tillväxt and Destination Sundsvall.
The building stands at the south end of Stora torget in Stenstan. Its veranda was demolished in 1984, and after renovation in the late 1980s it now houses a banquet floor, a restaurant, conference rooms, and parts of Sundsvall municipality's operations, including Näringsliv och tillväxt and Destination Sundsvall.
The building's veranda was demolished in 1984, and the structure stood empty after the municipality left in 1975. A renovation in the late 1980s cost 30 million kronor and gave the house its current role as a banquet and conference venue.
