Gathenhielmska huset, 18th-century wooden townhouse in Majorna, Gothenburg, Sweden.

The gray timber structure stands near Stigbergstorget, featuring architectural elements from the Caroline period and late Baroque styles.

Built between 1743 and 1747 by Johan Busck on land previously granted to naval commander Lars Gathenhielm by King Karl XII in 1717.

The house contains the grand Kings Room on its first floor, with restored historical paintings and wallpapers discovered during renovations in 1916.

The building now functions as a creative center, offering studio spaces for artists and hosting concerts, film screenings, and theatrical performances.

The municipality of Gothenburg designated this building as its first protected historical structure in 1943, preserving its original 18th-century features.
