Södervärnstornet, Water tower in Möllevången, Malmö, Sweden
The Södervärnstornet rises 60 meters above Malmö, featuring a brick facade and copper roof at the intersection of Nobelvägen and Spårvagnsgatan streets.
Built in 1916 by city architect Salomon Sörensen, the tower addressed water supply needs for Malmö's expanding population until its decommissioning in 2015.
The tower's distinct shape has led local residents to give it the informal nickname 'Kuken,' reflecting the community's candid relationship with urban landmarks.
Malmö Municipality acquired the tower in 2018 for one krona and completed renovations to restore the original copper roof color in 2023.
The structure bears the marks of a 1983 incident when a person climbed scaffolding to paint 'Mörda Bilar Hata Data' on its walls.
