Danviken Hospital, Healthcare building in Nacka Municipality, Sweden
The three-story stone building stands near Stockholm, featuring a symmetrical facade with rectangular windows and a prominent central entrance.
King Gustav Vasa founded the hospital in 1558, while the current structure, designed by Göran Josuæ Adelcrantz, was constructed between 1718 and 1725.
The term Danviken entered Swedish vocabulary as a reference for mental institutions, appearing in literature such as Fältskärns berättelser by Zacharias Topelius.
Located at 15 Sjökvarnsbacken in Nacka, the former hospital now functions as an art gallery open to visitors throughout the year.
The facility operated continuously for over three centuries, serving as a hospital, mental asylum, and retirement home before closing in 1861.
