Kronhuset ("the Crown House" in English), formerly known as Giötheborgz Tyghuhs ('Gothenburg's Arsenal'), is a redbrick building in Västra Nordstaden in Göteborg. It was constructed from 1643 to 1654 in a Dutch style, and is Göteborg's joint-oldest secular building along with the Torstenson Palace (constructed 1648-50). The royal architect Simon de la Vallée is believed to have designed the building. The Kronhus was originally used as an arsenal for the city garrison and as a granary to store food reserves so that the city could survive a siege. On December 9, 1927, the ownership of Kronhuset passed from the Swedish state to Göteborg Municipality. It has been a byggnadsminne, a listed building, since October 24, 1968.

Göteborg (often spelled Gothenburg in English) is the capital of Västra Götaland County in the southwest of Sweden. It is the second-largest city in Scandinavian country, following Stockholm, and the fifth-largest in the Nordic countries. Göteborg is situated by the Kattegat on the west coast of Sweden, with a population of approximately 600,000 in the city proper and about 1.1 million inhabitants in the metropolitan area in the 2020s.

King Gustavus Adolphus founded Göteborg by royal charter in 1621 as a heavily fortified, primarily Dutch, trading colony. In addition to the generous privileges given to his Dutch allies during the ongoing Thirty Years' War, he also attracted significant numbers of his German and Scottish allies to populate his only town on the western coast; this trading status was furthered by the founding of the Swedish East India Company. At a key strategic location at the mouth of the Göta älv, where Scandinavia's largest drainage basin enters the sea, the Port of Göteborg is now the largest port in the Nordic countries.

This impressive redbrick church was originally part of the convent on this site. After the land was given to the Wrangel family, it became part of their estate and used as their parish church.

The redbrick ruins are peaceful now a days, surrounded by lawns and flowerbeds, but thousands died during the months-long siege long back 1857.

More photos from Bridewell, the abandoned police station and Court complex. From Friday it'll be the venue for 12 days of Xmas, a crazy show with over 40 street artists taking over the cells and the office spaces....

The Courts are so atmospheric - the walls of the central part are covered in these beautiful tiles, but the whole place is crumbling, plaster bursting and scaffolding holding it up. The Courts themselves are smothered in dust, with lots of strange little pieces left all around

I will putting some pics in the show - so I'd love it if you could look at the set and tell me which ones are the best.....

Paradise for shopping.
