Ever since the Middle Ages, a well stood at the center of Stortorget. In 1778 Erik Palmstedt, architect of the stock exchange building, designed the current monumental well, known as the Stortorgsbrunnen. The well marked the center of Stockholm: from here all distances in the city as well as the distances to other cities were measured. In 1857, shortly after the well had dried out, it was moved to Brunkebegstorg but it returned to its original place in 1953.
