The courthouse was designed 1919. The relatively small building has essentially only one significant facing, the broad gable facing with its segment shaped glass section that frames in the entrance door, has a connection to the older station structure, which is placed at the end of the extended alley. The purpose of this particular placement was to create a monumental and dignified environment.

Description
The new District Court, which also acts as the Court of Appeal for Skåne and Blekinge, constitutes a fulcrum for the surrounding characteristic and highly disparate sites. The building’s form reflects the contours of the terrain and cuts a crisp, self-assured profile in relation to its surroundings: water and green areas.

A window at a construction site in Handen. When it's finished it will be a six storey building. Click here to see the how the building looked just a couple of weeks ago.

This view is taken from the approximate site where the Kockums crane once resided in the harbor.
This old wooden church - voted the most beautiful Swedish building built before 1950 - is actually going to be moved (!) several kilometers in about 20-30 years. I've heard that there are plans to move it in one piece. That's an impressive task, for sure.
The whole town of Kiruna, situated approximately 150 km north of the Arctic circle, is affected by mining related subsidence and will eventually have to relocate.
