Kvarteret Krubban, Government building in Östermalm, Stockholm, Sweden.

The Kvarteret Krubban complex incorporates three distinct architectural periods, featuring an 18th-century manor, 19th-century military buildings, and a 1930s museum structure.

The land became part of Stockholm in 1640 and contained Magnus de la Gardie's baroque garden before Count Carl Gustav Spens purchased the Oxenstiernska estate in 1733.

The Swedish cavalry unit Livgardet constructed barracks in 1804, establishing an architectural style that influenced subsequent military buildings throughout Sweden.

The complex now houses the State Historical Museum, government offices, and repositories, with sections managed by the National Property Board of Sweden.

The former military riding house and exercise building transformed into a preschool in 2012, accommodating 170 children while maintaining the original exterior structure.
