The upper façade of the Rådhuset in Malmö deserves inspection. It is the design of Helgo Zettervall. In 1860, this architect was given liberties to decide how the original town hall should have looked when it was built in the mid-16th century. Notice the statues flanking the clock tower. On the lower right is Mathias Flensburg. He was a shipping magnate who expanded Malmö’s port during the 19th century. On the lower left is Jörgen Knock. He minted coins, was a significant landowner and was the town’s mayor during the early 16th century.
