Grev Turegatan, street in Östermalm, Stockholm, Sweded

Grev Turegatan is a street in Östermalm, Stockholm, running from Birger Jarlsgatan in the south to Valhallavägen in the north and crossing Linnégatan and Karlavägen along the way. The street is lined with a mix of residential and commercial buildings in various styles, including a distinctive 1905 Art Nouveau building housing multiple shops and services, along with preserved industrial structures from the early 1900s.

The street has borne its current name since 1858, derived from a local landowner whose family held a garden area in this region. In the early 20th century the area underwent major changes with the construction of residential buildings, shops, and industrial facilities including a factory that operated between 1900 and 1974.

Grev Turegatan is named after Ture Gabrielsson Oxenstierna, a historical landowner whose garden once occupied this area. Today the street reflects Stockholm's everyday culture as people move between shops, cafes, and parks while encountering buildings from different periods.

The street is flat and wide, making walking pleasant and navigation straightforward. At the southern end a passage connects to Sturegallerian shopping center, making the street a practical link between different parts of the neighborhood.

At the corner of Grev Turegatan and Birger Jarlsgatan stands a fountain called Eldhs fontän, erected in 1921 and adding a timeless decorative touch to the street. The writer Hjalmar Söderberg was born in 1869 at house number 35, marked by a plaque on the facade.
