Södervärnstornet

Södervärnstornet is a historic landmark in Malmö's Möllevången district, built in 1916 as a water tower by city architect Salomon Sörensen. The tower supplied water to the growing city until it was decommissioned in 2015. Since 2018, the building has been owned by the City of Malmö, which is looking for new public uses for it after the copper roof was renovated in 2022 and 2023. Because of its distinctive, phallus-like shape, locals also know the tower by the nickname Kuken, which means "cock." You can see this architecturally interesting structure at the intersection of Nobelvägen and Spårvagnsgatan.
