Villa Porthälla, Early 20th-century residential building in Partille Municipality, Sweden

Villa Porthälla features five floors with 446 square meters of living space, containing seventeen rooms arranged across multiple levels.

Architect Hjalmar Zetterström designed this residence between 1914 and 1918 for director Ernst Harbeck, who requested a medieval German castle style.

The building transformed from a single-family residence to serve various purposes, including a period as a Krishna movement monastery.

The municipal housing company Partillebo renovated the structure in 2012 to create seven modern apartments while maintaining its external character.

Local residents refer to Villa Porthälla as 'The Castle' due to its stone and brick construction resembling a medieval fortress.
