Grönskolan

The area surrounding the square can be described as a knowledge quarter, where visitors can trace the development of education over more than 135 years. The Green School was built between 1904 and 1905, while the Back School, located behind it, was built in 1890. Both buildings originally served as primary schools.

On the opposite side of the square stands the Central School, which today houses the Gällivare Museum of Culture. This school, serving pupils in the lower and middle years of compulsory education, was in use from 1913 to 1982. Behind it is Gällivare's modern upper secondary school, Kunskapshuset (the Knowledge Centre).
