Stäket, Historical restaurant in Lund, Sweden
Stäket is a restaurant housed in a thick-walled stone building on Stora Södergatan that dates to 1570. The interior is divided into distinct dining spaces by original medieval walls that have remained in place for centuries.
The building was constructed during a period when Lund developed as a major trading center in southern Sweden. It survived centuries of city growth and change, remaining one of the oldest standing structures in the downtown area.
The thick stone walls that divide the interior reflect how people in the 16th century organized their living and working spaces within the city. Today these medieval partitions frame different dining areas, showing visitors how the building was originally used.
The location on Stora Södergatan places it within easy walking distance of Lund's central attractions. The building's medieval layout means some dining areas are small and cozy, so calling ahead helps secure a table in your preferred spot.
Each dining room is completely enclosed by walls that have stood since medieval times, offering a rare look at how space was sectioned in an old city building. Most visitors only realize while moving between rooms that they are navigating through a series of separate stone chambers.
