Alstavik, Manor house on Långholmen, Sweden
Located on the island of Långholmen between Södermalm and Kungsholmen, Alstavik stands near walking paths and green spaces along the waterfront.
Built in 1649 by wealthy brewer Jochum Ahlstedt, the State acquired Alstavik in 1724 and transformed it into a penal institution for women.
The building reflects the transformation of Långholmen from a prison complex into a recreational space after the 1975 closure of correctional facilities.
Visitors can reach Alstavik through two bridges connecting the island: Pålsundsbron from the east and Långholmsbron from the west.
Prisoners at Långholmen contributed to the island's current landscape by covering rocky terrain with soil, creating fertile ground for gardens.
