Westmanska palatset

Westmanska palatset is an office building in central Stockholm with multiple halls arranged around a 500-square-meter inner courtyard. The rooms accommodate various meetings, from small discussions to gatherings of around 140 people.

Abraham Lorenzon Westman Jr commissioned this palace in 1799, with architect Carl Christoffer Gjörwell Jr designing it as a family residence. It later gained political importance when key figures used it during pivotal moments in the early 1800s.

The building displays 18th century classical design with spacious rooms and a characteristic inner courtyard that reflects the tastes of the wealthy merchant family who built it. These architectural choices remain visible in the details that define the interior today.

The venue offers rooms in different sizes, from intimate meeting spaces for a few people to a large hall for around 140 participants. Visitors should know that the central location provides good public transit access and the various halls can be adapted for different purposes.

In the early 1800s, the building housed an important Natural History Collection that later became the foundation for Stockholm's Natural History Museum. This collection was pioneering in advancing scientific study and learning in the city.
