Central Post Office of Stockholm

The Central Post Office features red Höganäs brick walls, slate roofing, and sandstone base, with tower-like structures enriching its exterior composition.

King Oscar II inaugurated this postal headquarters in 1903, following a design competition won by architect Ferdinand Boberg to address growing mail volumes.

The central hall displays marble arcades and a 1907 mural by Carl Wilhelmsson depicting mail delivery by steamship above the main staircase.

Located at 28-34 Vasagatan in central Stockholm, the building remains accessible to visitors interested in exploring its architectural features.

The structure incorporates Swedish nature motifs, including pine twigs and local fauna, integrated into the ornamental designs throughout the building.
