Terrassen 16, Historic building in Södermalm, Stockholm, Sweden
Terrassen 16 at Nytorgsgatan 5-7 comprises three separate houses from the 18th century, including one of Stockholm's smallest residential buildings. The structures display the typical construction styles of their era with varying facades and dimensions.
After the Katarina fire of 1723, Lars Ekman built a stone house in 1773 to replace earlier wooden structures on this site. This shift to fire-resistant construction marked an important change in the area's building practices.
The blue plaque from Stockholm City Museum marks this ensemble as historically significant within the neighborhood. This designation reflects how the buildings serve as important references to the area's development over centuries.
The buildings underwent comprehensive renovation between 1981 and 1982 to modernize their systems while maintaining historical character. You can view the exteriors from the street and explore the ensemble within its neighborhood setting.
A small green space called Solrosparken sits in front of the timber house and offers views toward Stockholm's harbor entrance. This modest park often goes unnoticed, yet it provides a pleasant public context for the structures.
