In the same place as the current town hall was previously an older medieval town hall, which was demolished to make room for the new current building.[2]

The historical building is primarily used by the Landskrona district court and for Landskrona municipal council meetings.[3]

Just outside the town hall is the city's primary square, the Town Hall Square (Swedish: "Rådhustorget"), which is known for its significant market trade, among other things.

The square is layered with a paving of artistic character as the view from above indicates a distinct pattern.

Additional artistic elements are found in the statue Västanvind (West Wind in English) from 1929, designed by Anders Olsson.
