Stockholm City Hall

Opened in 1923 after 12 years of construction, Stockholm’s City Hall is one of Sweden’s most iconic buildings showing national romanticism in architecture. The building’s nearly 350-foot high tower is a fixture on the Stockholm cityscape, and it incorporates the finest Swedish materials (granite, marble, copper). Now home to administrative offices and festive halls, City Hall was constructed by architect Ragnar Östberg and built with eight million bricks. Also host to the Noble Banquet each year, the building features many intricately designed rooms including the Golden Hall, which features 18.5 million gold mosaic pieces. (It was completed by 100 workers in just 11 months following the conclusion of WWI, when the Swedish were able to employ expert artisans from Italy and Germany at a very low cost). Note: City Hall can only be visited with a guide. Indagare members can contact the Bookings Team to arrange a tour.
