"The tallest building in Scandinavia- Karlatornet will be Gothenburg's first skyscraper with its 245 meters. The location on Lindholmen means that its silhouette will be visible both from the river and from the city centre. With its 73 floors, Karlatornet houses 611 apartments, hotel, offices and a sky bar."

Karlatornet (lit. 'The Karla Tower', initially called Polstjärnan) is a skyscraper completed by Serneke in Lindholmen in Gothenburg, Sweden. The tower reached its final height of 246 metres in June 2023. It has 74 floors above ground. The building was completed in autumn 2024.

The building's architecture firm is Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, and it was built by Serneke Group AB. It was finished in 2024, but the first inhabitants started moving in from August 2023.

The building reached 246 metres tall (807 ft), and is the tallest building in Scandinavia and in the Nordic countries. On 22 September 2022, the tower reached this milestone at 193 metres, officially surpassing Turning Torso in Malmö.
