Oscar I:s Minne, Historic retirement home in Bagarmossen, Sweden
Oscar I:s Minne is a residential facility in Bagarmossen that provides housing for single women over 50 years of age. The foundation currently houses around 40 residents at its present location.
The foundation was established in the 1870s and originally operated from Södermalm, where it was designed by a notable architect. In 2018, the organization relocated to its current location in Bagarmossen.
The name honors a former Swedish king and reflects a long tradition of supporting women in need. The foundation represents how social institutions maintain their purpose across generations.
The facility is located in a quiet residential area that is accessible by public transport. Visitors should contact the foundation beforehand to arrange a suitable time for a visit.
The original Södermalm building was sold in 2018 and transformed into a hotel, an unusual turn of events for a social welfare project. The move to Bagarmossen allowed the foundation to continue its mission in a new setting.
