Härlanda fängelse, Architectural ensemble in Gothenburg Municipality, Sweden
The three-story prison building features a cross-shaped layout with residential cell wings intersecting the main longitudinal section of the structure.
Designed by architect Gustaf Lindgren, Härlanda fängelse operated from 1907 to 1997, initially housing 170 inmates and reaching a capacity of 300 during the 1950s.
The Kulturhuset Kåken, established in 2007 within the former prison carpentry workshop, includes the merged Redbergslid and Munkebäck libraries.
The facility now accommodates municipal administrative offices and hosts regular cultural events, including concerts, festivals, and performances throughout the year.
The prison grounds, renamed Härlanda Park in 2011, contain five smaller buildings constructed in 1912 for staff housing and a football facility.
