this one giving you just a hint of the west facade facing the sea. the little white wall up on the raised terrace in front of the house shows you where it has been cut in half to secure a sea view from the basement.

The royal residence has been in the same location in the northern part of Gamla stan in Stockholm since the middle of the 13th century when the Tre Kronor Castle was built. The current palace was designed by Nicodemus Tessin the Younger after the medieval Tre Kronor Castle was destroyed in a fire on 7 May 1697. Due to the costly Great Northern War that started in 1700, construction of the palace was halted in 1709, and not recommenced until 1727— six years after the end of the war. When Tessin the Younger died in 1728, the palace was completed by Carl Hårleman, who also designed a large part of its Rococo interior. The palace was not ready to use until 1754, when King Adolf Frederick and Queen Louisa Ulrika moved in. No major alterations have been made in the palace since its completion.
Architect: Ragnar Östberg
Built in: 1911-1923
Client: The City of Stockholm
The City Hall was built between 1911-1923 to the design of Ragnar Östberg. It came to be his most famous building and a total of 8 million bricks was used. Inspired by palaces of the Renaissance, Ragnar Östberg had the City Hall built around two piazzas, the Civic Court and the Blue Hall. The Blue Hall and the mosaic clad Golden Hall are most known for being the annual host of the Nobel Prize Banquet.
The City Hall is the workplace for the city’s politicians and civil servants and it is also here where the City Council have their meetings.
On the location where the City Hall was built, there was earlier a mill, the famous Eldkvarnen, which was ravaged by fire in 1878.

Built in: 1983
Builder: Stockholms Universitet, Akademiska hus
The Stockholm University Library main building was opened in 1983 and designed by Ralph Erskine. The library is centrally located on campus Frescati and has a large entrance hall combined with the building Södra huset, designed by architect David Helldén. The large open indoor landscape and the varying facades outward characterize the library building. Along the west facade are four balconies found, and the long, shiny steel roof with its two towers marks the building in the landscape. The building blends in well with its surroundings and other Erskine buildings, for example, Aula Magna and Juristernas hus.
Stockholm University Library currently consists of the main library and 9 branch libraries: the Department of Media, Journalism and Communication Library, the Cinema Studies Library (with the Swedish Film Institute), the Asia Library, the Mathematics Library, the Geolibrary, the Department of Social Work Library, the Arrhenius Library (chemistry and biology), the AlbaNova Library and the Library of the Institute of Latin American Studies.
The former spa (founded in 1707) is the home of the well-known Ramlösa mineral water. Many of the now protected buildings from the hay-day of the spa are well preserved. They are now primarily used as residences and offices. The Ramlösa brunnspark is today a wonderful, quiet park for visitors to enjoy.
