Cassels donation, Cultural center and concert hall in Grängesberg, Sweden.

The building features a temple-like entrance with six Doric columns and houses a concert hall capable of seating 412 people.

Sir Ernest Cassel donated 250,000 Swedish kronor in 1896 to establish this community center, which opened its doors in January 1900.

The concert hall accommodates an orchestra of 40 musicians and maintains its position as one of Sweden's premier performance venues.

The facility includes a music library, two club rooms, a warming kitchen, a banquet hall, and a third-floor space for exhibitions.

After a fire destroyed the original structure in 1992, the building was reconstructed using historical photographs to restore its exact appearance.
