Kronhuset, Redbrick architectural complex in Västra Nordstaden, Sweden
The Kronhuset building spans 47.2 meters in length and 14.2 meters in width, featuring Dutch architectural influences and a prominent national hall on the ground floor.
Constructed between 1643 and 1654, the building served as an arsenal for the city garrison and stored food supplies during periods of conflict in Gothenburg.
The interior displays a Flemish tapestry from 1690, while the surrounding Kronhusbodarna buildings house artisanal shops selling pottery, glassware, and leather goods.
The facility maintains daily operating hours from 10:00 to 18:00, offering visitors access to both the historical structure and the surrounding commercial establishments.
The ground floor national hall demonstrates advanced construction methods through its design without supporting pillars, a notable engineering achievement for the 17th century.
