The Belvederen tower provides a distinct way to observe Linköping. The building is 22 m high and sits on Kjettilberget, which rises 45 m over the waters of Lake Roxen. By combining the height of the land with the structure, guests reach a total vantage point of approximately 67 m (220 ft.).
Work on this landmark commenced in 1881. Located on Lasarettsgatan in the center of the town, the building remains a steady fixture representing local history and the natural world.
Now, the space operates as a public restaurant and cafe for all to enjoy. Guests may travel to the top level to use floor mounted binoculars, which provide a good view over Linköping city.
