Garbo-husen, Historic residential building in Södermalm, Stockholm, Sweden.
Garbo-husen at Blekingegatan 32 is a modern residential building standing on the site of the original 1905 structure. The facade and entrance area display memorial elements that mark the historical connection of this location.
The original residential house was built in 1905 during the time when actress Greta Garbo spent her childhood there. In the 1970s the old building was replaced by a new modern residential complex.
The location represents the transformation of Södermalm from an industrial district to a residential neighborhood connected to Swedish cinema history.
The building sits in easily accessible Södermalm, a central neighborhood with good public transport connections. Nearby cafes, restaurants, and shops make the area pleasant to explore during a visit.
The building remained largely unknown until informational plaques highlighted its connection to the early days of Swedish cinema. This attention has turned the spot into a destination for those interested in Garbo's legacy.
