Swedish term or phrase: kullås
Hello

Does anyone know what this object is called please? (I assume it is the biggest object of the three in the picture).

There is no other help in the context I have in my translation and in fact the context would only confuse more as "kullås" is actually the name given to a building.

Thanks
