Bolinder Palace

Bolinder Palace, Renaissance Revival building in Stockholm, Sweden

Bolinder Palace is a late-Renaissance palace at Södra Blasieholmshamnen 6, built 1874–1877 to Helgo Zettervall's plans for industrialist Jean Bolinder. The four-storey facade with attic is light grey stucco, with corner tourelles hanging at the sides and a diamond-rusticated ground floor between polished Doric granite columns. The T-shaped plan holds two 13-room grand apartments and a 10-room one; the attic's seven rooms were meant as an art gallery.

Built 1874–1877 by builder Evald Thavenius for industrialist Jean Bolinder to Helgo Zettervall's designs, the palace became part of the Grand Hotel in 1889. The Royal Automobile Club (KAK) owned it from 1929 to 1970 and rented rooms again in 1970–1976 and 1995–2011. The lower floor housed Mathias Dahlgren's restaurant from 2007.

The ground floor held shops: Jean Bolinder's Mekaniska Verkstad had its salesroom in one, and the other housed the Indiska Caféet, its oriental-style interior designed by architect Ture Stenberg. Rörstrand also kept a shop in the building for a time. The two large parade apartments, of 13 and 10 rooms, were reached by a T-shaped plan, and the attic's seven rooms were meant as an art gallery.

The palace stands at Södra Blasieholmshamnen 6, beside the Grand Hôtel's main building and the Burmanska huset, with the Svenska Arbetsgivareföreningen building on its other side. It is part of the hotel, so the former grand apartments now serve as conference and function rooms; the ground floor holds Mathias Dahlgren's restaurant, which has operated there since 2007.

The corner tourelles hanging at the facade's sides are a feature Zettervall borrowed from Venetian models such as Ca' Pesaro and Ca' Rezzonico. The sculptural decoration, including allegorical female figures of Architecture, Literature, Music and Art, is attributed to Frithiof Kjellberg.
