Göteborgs nation

Göteborgs nation, Student nation at Uppsala University, Sweden.

Göteborgs nation is one of Uppsala University's thirteen student nations, founded in 1667 and the youngest of them. Its current building at S:t Larsgatan 7, designed by architects Erik Uluots and Gustaf Hedenlund, replaced an earlier house on Drottninggatan and Trädgårdsgatan that was demolished in the 1960s. The house contains 42 student rooms, a doublet and an apartment, plus a pub and club premises.

Göteborgs nation, founded in 1667, is the youngest of Uppsala's thirteen full student nations. Its first nation house was built in 1822 at the corner of S:t Johannesgatan and S:t Larsgatan, later moved to Nedre Slottsgatan. A new house was built on the same site in 1866, and in 1887 the nation moved to a building designed by Emil Befwe at Drottninggatan 7 and Trädgårdsgatan 4. That house deteriorated and was demolished in the 1960s; the current building at S:t Larsgatan 7 was designed by Erik Uluots and Gustaf Hedenlund.

The nation publishes its own newspaper, Halta Lejon, twice a term, free for members. Its choir has been active on and off, and the men stage an annual spex in March while the women put on a Lucia spex around 13 December. The library holds mainly law books, part of the Uppsala nations' shared subject division.

Visitor should note that residential spaces are available mainly during specific periods of the academic calendar and are reserved for members. It helps to check opening hours and access rules in advance, as some areas may require prior arrangement.

Göteborgs nation has always been among the smallest in Uppsala, with between 400 and 600 members at a time. Its house at S:t Larsgatan 7, designed by Erik Uluots and Gustaf Hedenlund, appears on the website Det sanna Sverige among the ugliest buildings in Uppsala. The nation also awards the Monismanien Prize, founded in 1975 by Kenne Fant in memory of Torgny Segerstedt the elder, to defenders of freedom of expression.
