Centralsaluhallen

The red brick structure featured high arched windows in the gables and four towers decorated with granite animal head sculptures.

Stockholm city council established the market hall in 1912, operating simultaneously with Enskede slaughterhouse to improve urban food distribution and hygiene.

The market hall served as a central point for meat, fish, vegetables, and flower trade, reflecting the evolving food commerce patterns of early 1900s Stockholm.

The facility operated both wholesale and retail operations until 1962, when most trading activities moved to the new Årsta wholesale market.

The building's ceiling utilized curved iron trusses to create a pillar-free hall with large windows that allowed natural light to flood the interior space.
