Slagthuset was opened at the beginning of the 1990s as an office and entertainment complex in Nyhamnen in Malmö consisting of an office hotel, office premises, theater, discotheque and restaurant. The name comes from the fact that the main building in the years 1904-69 was a municipal slaughterhouse. The building complex was designed by the city architect in Malmö Salomon Sörensen. The thirteen-storey office building, "Malmö Slagthus", which was completed in 1993, is part of the Slagthus complex. The architect for the high-rise building and the rebuilding of the slaughterhouse was Ahlsén & Lindström architects. Mindpark Malmö City AB runs coworking, meeting and event activities in parts of the high-rise building. The property is owned by Wihlborgs. In 2021, it was decided that Totte Lundgren, who owns Kulturbolaget and Hans Palm, would have started Nyhamnen Nöje & Events and taken over the operations at Slagthuset after it was officially closed in March 2021.

Stortorget, Malmö
Stortorget, Malmö

Stortorget (transl. "The Main Square", lit. "The Big Square") is a square in Malmö. Construction began in 1538 with the demolition of The Monastery of the Holy Spirit (Heligandsklostret), which with its cemetery occupied about 70% of the area of the future square. A note in 1542 refers to the site as thet ny torg ("the new square"). The stately Malmö Town Hall (Rådhuset), the largest of its kind in the Nordic countries at the time, located on the eastern side of the square, was inaugurated in 1547. At Stortorget are The Governor's Residence, Malmö Town Hall, Jørgen Kock's House, the Kramer Hotel, and The Lion Pharmacy (Apoteket Lejonet). In the middle of the square stands an equestrian statue of King Charles X Gustav, sculpted by John Börjeson and created in connection with the Craft and Industry Exhibition in Malmö in 1896. The statue was initiated by the newspaperman and politician Carl Herslow and the history professor Martin Weibull. Stortorget has historically been Malmö's most central square, but with the electrification of the tramway, this role was increasingly taken over by Gustav Adolf's square. Stortorget was served by horsecars in 1887–1907, horse-drawn buses in 1898-1907 and electric trams in 1906–1957. Just southwest of Stortorget is Lilla torg, and about 250 m straight south (along Södergatan) is Gustav Adolfs torg. As a curiosity, the meridian 13° east passes through Stortorget, which means that its mean solar time is exactly (if you are standing in the right place) eight minutes behind Central European Time (i.e. Swedish Standard Time).
