Bredenbergs varuhus, Functionalist department store building in Norrmalm, Sweden.
Bredenbergs varuhus is a functionalist department store in Norrmalm situated at the corner of Mäster Samuelsgatan and Drottninggatan. The building features a limestone exterior with expansive window sections that flood the lower levels with light and create an open retail experience.
Architect Gunnar Asplund designed this commercial building between 1934 and 1935 during the emergence of Swedish functionalism. The structure became a landmark for modern retail architecture and remains a defining feature of Norrmalm's streetscape.
The building received a blue classification status, indicating its protection under Swedish Cultural Heritage Law for its architectural and historical value.
Ground-level retail spaces are accessible from Drottninggatan, while the upper floors house corporate offices. The building's location on a busy street corner makes it easy to reach by foot from central Stockholm.
A comprehensive 2008 renovation carefully preserved the original facade while updating interior systems for modern use. The restoration balanced heritage protection with the practical needs of contemporary retail and office functions.
