Falkenberg Old Town Hall
Falkenberg Old Town Hall (Swedish ''Falkenbergs rådhus'') is a former town hall, built 1826. The building has given name to the adjacent square, ''Rådhustorget''. The first town hall was built in 1760. It was a relatively small wooden house. The town centre was at that time located further south, around Saint Lawrence church. However, during the following centuries the centre would move north, giving the town hall a fairly central location. The building became increasingly run-down and was also too small for its purpose. It was therefore decided to build a new town hall. The building had two storeys. The lower was shared between Falkenberg's first school, Pedagogien, its head teacher's dwelling, the town's jail, fire equipment, weights and measures. The upper storey contained a session hall as well as a ballroom. The parts of the lower storey not used by the school became by time increasingly used by the police. A major refurbishment took place 1872–1874. Pedagogien was clo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Swedish Language
Swedish ( ) is a North Germanic language spoken predominantly in Sweden and in parts of Finland. It has at least 10 million native speakers, the fourth most spoken Germanic language and the first among any other of its type in the Nordic countries overall. Swedish, like the other Nordic languages, is a descendant of Old Norse, the common language of the Germanic peoples living in Scandinavia during the Viking Era. It is largely mutually intelligible with Norwegian and Danish, although the degree of mutual intelligibility is largely dependent on the dialect and accent of the speaker. Written Norwegian and Danish are usually more easily understood by Swedish speakers than the spoken languages, due to the differences in tone, accent, and intonation. Standard Swedish, spoken by most Swedes, is the national language that evolved from the Central Swedish dialects in the 19th century and was well established by the beginning of the 20th century. While distinct regional varieties ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
