Wirwachs malmgård, Historic estate building in Södermalm, Stockholm, Sweden.
Wirwachs malmgård is a historic estate building in Södermalm located at the intersection of Brännkyrkagatan and Ansgariegatan, with a main structure flanked by two wings. A large linden tree stands prominently in the courtyard, adding character to the site.
The estate was commissioned in 1771 by pharmacist Johan Michael Wirwach and Johan Christian Senckpiehl, with construction completed over the following years. Its founding reflected the owners' pharmaceutical business, which shaped its original purpose.
The Stockholm City Museum marked the building with a blue classification, recognizing its importance in the neighborhood's architectural heritage. This designation reflects how locals view it as a landmark worth preserving.
The estate now operates as Hotel Hellstens Malmgård, situated near the Zinkensdamm metro station for convenient access. The building contains approximately 50 double rooms and one single room for guests.
The original property included an extensive garden containing roughly 80 fruit trees and medicinal plants to support the owner's pharmaceutical work. This collection demonstrates how closely the owners integrated their living and professional activities.
