Polishuset

The building was constructed in 1911 according to drawings by Carl Johan Perne, Hedemora. The police house previously also housed the fire station and the county tax office. The old remand prison, known as Hotell Haglund, used to be located here. The police moved to Tjädernhuset in 2012. Cattle were sold at the markets on the former Oxtorget square below. During the 17th and 18th centuries there was an iron scale on the site, which gave its name to Våggatan, now Hökargatan.
