Västerås stadshus, Municipal building in Västerås, Sweden.
The administrative center features granite facades, marble courtyards, and a 65-meter tower with copper roofing covering its entire structure.
Construction of the Västerås stadshus took place between 1953 and 1988, following designs by city architect Sven Ahlbom after years of planning.
The council chamber displays Det fria ordet, a textile work by Kaisa Melanton depicting the democratic process from initial ideas through final decisions.
The building contains municipal offices, meeting rooms, and public spaces where citizens can attend council meetings and administrative functions.
The tower contains Sweden's largest carillon system, consisting of 47 bells that range from very light to caravan-weight proportions.
