This detail of the Town Hall provides a close up of its ornate neo-gothic architecture by Alfred Hellerström. What it does not convey is that it was a crowning achievement of the Consul’s Era, a period of rapid growth at the end of the 1800s when Helsingborg had finally emerged from numerous wars with Denmark and a devastating plague. This photo of the southern façade was taken along Stortoget and the Great Square, the latter which dates back to the late 17th century.
