Hedvigs Kyrka shares a square with three of the city’s most imposing buildings: The City Hall, the former Private Bank and the Grand Hotel.

All with variations on the National Romantic style, these were built within a few years of each other at the turn of the 20th century and loom high over the square.

Take a few minutes to inspect the facade of the City Hall, which is built with bricks baked in Helsingborg, and at the very tip of its tower has a 4.5-metre golden statue of its patron saint St Olaf sitting on a throne.
