Nytorget, Square and park in Södermalm, Sweden.

Nytorget is a central square in Södermalm featuring two distinct sections that serve different purposes. The space includes an artificial grass area, a decorative pond, multiple benches, lush tree plantings with seasonal flowers in the northern section, while the southern area contains a large gravel playground designed for children.

Nytorget is documented as "Nytorghet" from 1671, when a mill called "Mäster Pärs Kwarn" stood here, owned by Per Arenbechius, vicar of Katarina parish. The square served as a punishment and execution site; in 1792 Gustav III's assassin Jacob Johan Anckarström was flogged here over three days. A fire pump house on the north side, recorded from the 1730s, was later converted into a market hall.

This space serves as a meeting point where neighbors gather on benches to socialize and watch daily life unfold. It functions as part of the local community's everyday rhythm, especially during warmer months.

The northern section provides public restrooms and a seasonal cafe for visitors seeking a break. It is easy to navigate the square as the functional areas are clearly separated, with the play area in the south and the quieter garden in the north.

The old industrial building Malongen at Nytorget 15 dates from the 1660s and has served as a factory, hospital, emergency housing and primary school; today it houses artists' studios. It is one of Stockholm's oldest preserved industrial buildings and is blue-classified by the Stockholm City Museum.
