Constructed between 1956 and 1958, its massive 3,200-ton reservoir—45.5 meters in diameter—was hoisted into place using 32 hydraulic jacks at 58 cm per day. Originally holding 9 million liters, it replaced older towers and now hosts a skybar with stunning city panoramas.

    The rotating Skybar serves a diverse lunch buffet featuring European and Swedish cuisine, soups, salads, cheeses, and desserts, often praised for value around 100 SEK. À la carte options, vegan and vegetarian dishes, beer, wine, and coffee complement the views. Indoor seating provides coziness on rainy days, with outdoor terraces for clear skies.
