Själagårdsgatan, Pedestrian street in Gamla Stan, Stockholm, Sweden

Själagårdsgatan extends from Köpmangatan to Tyska Brunnsplan, running parallel to Baggensgatan through the historical district of Stockholm.

The street name originated from a charitable institution called Själagård, established in the 1420s at number 13 to care for elderly and sick residents.

The location served as a royal printing house where the first Swedish translation of the New Testament was produced in 1526.

The car-free zone connects multiple intersections including Kindstugatan, Tyska Skolgränd, and Svartmangatan, facilitating easy pedestrian movement through the old town.

Local residents referred to the street as Skärgårdsgatan until the 1960s, despite its official renaming to Själagårdsgatan in 1925.
