Apoteket Lejonet, Neoclassical pharmacy building in Malmö Centrum, Sweden.
The Apoteket Lejonet features ornate wooden shelves, tall columns, and detailed moldings throughout its neoclassical interior and exterior structure.
Built in 1896 by John Tesch, this establishment became one of Europe's largest pharmacies, incorporating modern elements like an elevator to access private apartments.
The pharmacy received its lion symbol following the Swedish tradition of assigning animal emblems to distinguish pharmaceutical establishments in the 18th century.
Located at Stortorget 8, the pharmacy maintains regular operations from Monday through Friday between 9:00 and 18:00, and Saturdays from 10:00 to 15:00.
The building displays preserved hand-painted advertisements from the 19th century and contains a glass-plated ceiling above its historical medicinal preparation room.
