Geocache Description:

[SVE]/[ENG]Obs! Mugglartätt område! Var extra varsam! / NB! Beware of all mugglers!

[SVE]

Efter 1834 års storbrand då nästan all bebyggelse i staden ödelades, grundlades den nya stadsbebyggelsen efter 1600-talets rutnätsplan. Planen präglades av hänsyn till brandrisken: Plantaget eller "Kulturaxeln" liksom två breda trädplanterade gator, Edsgatan och Vallgatan bildade en brandgata. Rutnätsplanen från 1600-talet bestod och gör det alltjämt idag. Tre tullportar ledde in i staden, den östra porten, den södra och den västra. Staden var uppdelad i fyra kvarter:

Kransen, Rosen, Liljan och Blomman.

Dessa var sedan uppdelade i lika stora kvadratiska byggkvarter om 100 gånger 100 m.

In 1834, most of the town's wooden houses were burnt down. The town was rebuilt in a grid pattern where every block is 100X100 m. The plan was characterized by respect for fire hazard: Plantaget or "the cultural axis" and the two wide tree-planted streets, Edsgatan and Vallgatan formed a firebreak. The grid plan from the 1600s has remained untouched and is unique to this day. Three customs gates lead into the town, the east, the south and the west gate. The town was divided into four larger blocks: Kransen (The Rosary), Rosen (The Rose), Liljan (The Lily) and Blomman (The Flower).
