Snäckgärdstornet tower

Snäckgärdstornet tower

In the old days this tower called in the name of Odin, then - Västerport, and in the 18th century as Fanhelmskie gate, because near it lived a nice guy, the captain of the royal guard E. Fahnehjelm, who paid for the construction of a wooden bridge here, so his wife, fru Fahnehjelm was handier to go to the market for products for numerous family of good captain.
