  • Historic staircases in Helsingborg
    The Terrasstrapporna is a monumental terrace and staircase in the old town of Helsingborg and is next to the Kärnan fortress tower another famous landmark of the city.
    Built from 1899 to 1903, the facility is officially named Konung Oscar II: s Terrasstrappor and acts as an architectural link between the large market square Stortorget and the about 40 meters higher park Slottshagen with the fortress tower Kärnan.
    The terrace staircase consists of a very wide staircase leading to a first wide terrace. In the back wall there is a decorative fountain with small artificial waterfalls embedded in three vaulted arches. On the upper terrace are two walk-around massive round towers, which are connected by two superposed bridge arches. The two towers are made of brickwork and resemble medieval castle towers, the lower part of the staircase is made of granite and is more or less Neo-Baroque.At the foot of the staircase there is a vaulted arch on each side. The southern ends blindly as a pure arch, while in the northern vault is a tunnel that leads to a lift in the northern tower. The so-called terrace lift overcomes a height difference of 33 meters and is still operated by an elevator operator. The lift is considered as public transport in Helsingborg and although it is subject to a charge, it is used by about 30,000 passengers annually.guidebook-sweden.com/de/reisefuehrer/reiseziel/terrasstrapporna-historische-treppenterrassen-helsingborg
