Djurgårdsbrunn, Historical mineral spa in Östermalm district, Stockholm.
Djurgårdsbrunn is a historical mineral spa in the Östermalm district with buildings arranged along the canal and views of the water. The site now features a restaurant and various recreational facilities close to central Stockholm.
The mineral spring gained recognition in the late 1600s through physician Urban Hjärne, who identified its healing properties. Buildings were constructed in 1742 to accommodate guests who came seeking treatment.
The location takes its name from the mineral spring and now serves mainly as a restaurant and meeting place where visitors enjoy being near the water. The surroundings have shifted from a pure spa resort to a spot for everyday gatherings.
The site sits along multiple walking and cycling routes and is easy to reach on foot or by bike. Visitors find peaceful access to the water and to the neighboring Gärdet area.
The original main building from 1742 stood for nearly 250 years before a fire destroyed it in 1988. This loss marked the end of an era for many Stockholm residents who had spent their leisure time there across generations.
