Sociala huset, Neo-romantic architectural structure at Grönsakstorget, Gothenburg, Sweden.
The red brick building stands in a half-elliptical shape over three floors, positioned on a former bastion site near Vallgraven canal.
Victor von Gegerfelt designed this structure in 1849 as the General and Sahlgrenska Hospital, which operated at this location until 1900.
The building transformation from medical facility to social services center led to its current name, Sociala Huset, reflecting its community function.
The municipal company Higab maintains this structure, which now houses educational facilities following extensive renovations completed in 2006.
Financial limitations during construction resulted in the execution of only half of the originally planned elliptical design.
