Brända tomten

The triangular public square features stone benches positioned under a large chestnut tree, with ivy growing along the surrounding historical buildings.

Following a devastating fire in 1728 that destroyed a building at the intersection of Kindstugatan and Själagårdsgatan, the area remained undeveloped for several decades.

The square serves as a gathering location for storytellers during summer months, where they share narratives with residents and tourists.

The pedestrian zone connects to Tyska brunnsplan through Själagårdsgatan and leads to the German Church via Kindstugatan, forming a central meeting point.

The name Brända tomten translates to The Burnt Lot in English, but can be mistranslated as The Burnt Santa Claus due to the dual meaning of tomten.
