Frimurarehuset, Göteborg, Masonic building in central Gothenburg, Sweden

The three-story structure extends through an entire block between Södra Hamngatan and Drottninggatan streets, featuring yellow stucco and sandstone pilasters.

Built in 1807 by Danish architect Michael Bälkow, the building burned in 1820 and was reconstructed by Justus Weinberg with updates by Ernst Torulf in 1918.

The building contains a columned hall decorated with ceiling paintings by Louis Jean Desprez and relief sculptures by Gioacchino Frulli.

The ground floor houses a restaurant while upper levels serve as meeting spaces for the Swedish Order of Freemasons Göta Provincial Lodge.

The structure received protected heritage status on June 28, 1982, preserving its architectural elements and historical connection to Dutch merchants.
