Klocktornet

The bell tower is situated in the quarter north of Carl Gustaf's church in the center. This detached clock tower was built in the 1790s from gray stone and brick with stone from the island Öland in the dimensions.

The tower is 36 meters high and eight-sided with every other side wider, every other narrower. On the roof is a gilded cross. The tower is divided into several floors with beams.

The drawings of the tower were submitted in 1791 and were made by Thure Wennberg, an architect, conductor and secretary at the Office of the Superintendent and amanuens at the Academy of Arts.

The current bell tower has had a predecessor, located at the same place. It was built in 1760 and was made of wood. It was destroyed in a fire on August 21, 1790, and soon after that it was decided to build the current stone tower.

Every weekday morning at 8 a.m and evening at 7 p.m the little bell in the tower rings. In the past, this was done as a reminder to start or stop fires in the houses. The tradition of ringing the bell still lives today.

Until 1924, the bells were run by ringers, now they ring with the help of electric motors.
