Mäster Olofsgården, Medieval community center in Gamla Stan, Sweden
Mäster Olofsgården is a medieval building in Gamla Stan featuring a portal with two stone lions atop sandstone pilasters and two family coats of arms carved between them. The interior contains spaces that can be rented for conferences, meetings, exhibitions, and lectures.
The building originated in the 1400s as a residence of Sten Sture the Elder, a powerful Swedish leader of that era. King Sigismund visited the house on several occasions when traveling to Stockholm.
The space has served as a gathering place for Stockholm residents since 1931, hosting youth programs, leisure activities, and community events. You can observe how locals use it as a social hub throughout the year for meetings and celebrations.
The building sits in Gamla Stan and is easily accessible on foot, with spaces available for various gatherings throughout the year. The rooms can accommodate different group sizes and work well for both short-term and longer events.
The two coats of arms displayed on the portal belong to the Lewenhaupt and Cruus families, marking a marriage connection between two prominent Stockholm clans. This alliance was significant for the social structure of medieval Stockholm.
