Skanskvarn, Historic windmill in Gullmarsplan, Stockholm, Sweden.

The octagonal wooden structure of Skanskvarn rises against the Stockholm skyline with its white-painted walls and traditional rotating cap mechanism.

Built in 1859, Skanskvarn operated as a grain mill during the industrial development of Stockholm in the nineteenth century.

The windmill represents the agricultural heritage of Stockholm Municipality and stands as a reminder of the city's milling traditions.

Located within a 10-minute walk from Tele2 Arena, the windmill now functions as a restaurant open on weekends with parking facilities.

The same family has managed this transformed windmill restaurant since 1987, offering private dining spaces for groups in its historical chambers.

Location: Stockholm Municipality

Official opening: 1850
