Kungshuset, Public building in Lundagård, Sweden
The red brick Kungshuset stands near Lund Cathedral, featuring a prominent tower and traditional Scandinavian architectural elements from the 16th century.
Danish King Frederick II commissioned the construction of Kungshuset between 1578 and 1584 as a residence for the bishop of Lund.
The building served as the first home of Lund University in 1666, containing classrooms, a library, and an observatory for astronomical studies.
The Department of Philosophy occupies Kungshuset today, though the structure remains inaccessible to wheelchair users due to its historical design.
The tower's wooden stairs generated a tale about King Charles XII riding up them, despite the tower being built after his visits in the 1710s.
