Klara shelter, Cold War air-raid shelter in central Stockholm, Sweden
The Klara shelter spans 6,650 square meters beneath Sergels torg, featuring a two-story oval structure with multiple entrances and vehicle access points.
Built during the 1960s Norrmalm redevelopment, this shelter was designed to protect 8,000 civilians and government officials during potential Cold War conflicts.
The shelter represents Swedish civil defense strategy, with separate sections designated for Parliament members and specific evacuation protocols for government leadership.
Five large generators power the facility during emergencies, while the space serves as Vattugaraget parking garage with 296 spaces during regular times.
The shelter contains removable walls, heavy steel doors, and an extensive air conditioning system to maintain temperature when operating at full capacity.
