Stockholms Roddförenings båthus, Stockholm

Architect: Sigurd Lewerentz

Built in: 1913

Client: Stockholms Roddförening

 

Stockholms Roddförening is a rowing club on Gärdet next to Djurgårdsbrunn in Stockholm. The Club was founded in April 8, 1880. The current boathouse, designed by architect Sigurd Lewerentz was inaugurated July 13, 1913. Timber from the Stockholm Olympics arena were used to build the boathouse. At the ceiling in the boat room you still can see the seat numbers in the wood.

 

The house has over the years been carefully refurbished and modernized. It looks the same on both the outside and inside as when it was new. Most of the benches and tables in the upstairs rooms belong to the original interior from 1913. The house is considered to have great historical value.
