Mårten Skinnares hus, Medieval residential building in Vadstena, Sweden.
The three-story stone house features traditional Nordic brick construction with an underground cellar, narrow staircases, and preserved exterior architectural elements.
Mårten Nilsson, a merchant trading in furs and copper, received three plots from Vadstena Abbey in 1519 to construct a hospital for poor citizens.
The upper floor chamber contains fragments of biblical wall paintings, with only a single halo remaining visible among the medieval decorations.
The Swedish National Property Board manages this medieval residence, offering guided tours through its preserved rooms and historical architecture.
The northern facade incorporates Nordic magical symbols in its brickwork pattern, alongside a rare medieval privy structure on the upper floor.
