It is located about 100 metres to the northeast of Lund Central railway station and is one of the largest squares in the city.
On the west side of the square is the customs house, now used for auctions, and there has been a pedestrian bridge over the railway station since 1997.
Instead the Spoletorp area was built to the north of the square, which is an example of a well-preserved lush stone house block from the early 20th century.
On 5 April 2003 the sculpture Eos, den rosenfingrade by Staffan Niblén was built near the pool in the middle of the square.
[2] The sculpture was later removed in June 2017 because the square was being renovated for the Lund tramway.
