"In 1897, the observation tower on Galgberget was completed. It is 14 meters high and includes a residence for the forester. From his residence, he could get a good overview of his domains on Galgberget. It consists of a 64-meter-high gravel ridge, which was formed during the ice age about 14,000 years ago. It soon became a popular excursion destination for Halmstad residents. A steep staircase leads to the observation tower, which also goes to Hallandsgården. The construction cost 5,564 kronor. The responsibility for this fell to the manufacturer Alfred Wallberg, who was also behind Hallandsgården. Similar observation towers have been built around the country. The tower is open most of the day. It is managed by Halmstad Municipality."
