Villa Ludvigsberg, 19th century residential building in Skinnarviksberget, Stockholm, Sweden.
Villa Ludvigsberg sits on a hillside in Skinnarviksberget with a distinctive octagonal tower that offers views across Riddarfjarden and central Stockholm districts. The building combines neogothic and renaissance revival architecture into a striking form.
The building was constructed between 1859 and 1860 by architect Johan Fredrik Åbom for Jacques Lamm, owner of a mechanical workshop. Its creation reflects the industrial growth of Stockholm during the mid-19th century.
The facade blends Gothic and Renaissance styles with decorative cast iron details that were manufactured in the owner's workshop.
Today the building serves as office space and sits near Gamla Stan with easy walking access to nearby parks and neighborhoods. The location is convenient for exploring the surrounding area on foot.
The tower room featured windows with red, yellow, green, and blue glass panes that cast colored light across Stockholm. These colored windows were an unusual artistic touch for this Victorian-era residence.
