Stenpiren

Stenpiren, Pier built of stone in the district within the moat.

Stenpiren is a stone pier at the mouth of Stora Hamnkanalen in Gothenburg's Vallgraven district. It was built in 1844–1845 and cut back by 42 metres in 1973 to give Götaverken's floating dock more room; its quay is now 215 metres long, with water 3–6 metres deep. Since 2015 it has been a tram and bus terminal.

Stenpiren was built in stone in 1844–1845 on the site of the narrower wooden Träpiren, one of Gothenburg's first quay facilities, and received its current name in 1883. In 1973 the pier was cut back by 42 metres to give Götaverken's floating dock more room and to move the sailing channel; its quay is now 215 metres long.

The name Stenpiren translates to Stone Pier in Swedish, referencing its historical purpose. Today, visitors can observe how people gather to watch boats, take photos, and rest by the water, showing how the space has shifted from industrial work to leisure and community gathering.

The pier is easily accessible from the city center and has simple, level pathways suitable for people of all ages. It is best to visit in good weather when the space is most comfortable, though it remains open and walkable year-round.

In 1973, when Götaverken needed more clearance for its floating dock and the sailing channel had to be moved, Stenpiren was cut by 42 metres. Its quay is now 215 metres long, with a water depth of 3 to 6 metres; in 1900 it measured 151 metres long and 2,416 square metres in area.
