Morabyrån, Kungsgatan 32

When Inlandsbanan's traffic director Jacques Wallner returned from the World Exhibition in Paris in 1889, he was full of impressions. These took shape in Morabyrån, a building unlike any other in Kristinehamn - inspired by the Paris Opera House, with splendor and pomp.

The building was built in 1895, designed by architect Carl Österman. It combines Neo-Renaissance staircases with towers, lion's heads, half-columns and meanderings - a real fairytale house in the heart of the city.

The house was for a long time the administrative building for the Mora-Venern and Östra Värmland railways - and is today classified as one of Värmland's most remarkable buildings.
