Bagaregården, Residential district in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Bagaregården is a residential district in Gothenburg featuring three-story buildings with stone ground floors and wooden upper levels arranged in a characteristic urban layout. The street structure within Örgryte borough shows thoughtful planning, with blocks of homes connected by small squares and passageways.
Urban planner Albert Lilienberg designed the district in the early 1900s, incorporating ideas from Austrian architect Camillo Sitte about city design. These concepts aimed to make life in dense urban areas more human and pleasant.
The name Bagaregården comes from a former baker's estate and shows how the area transformed from rural farmland into an urban neighborhood. Walking through the streets today, you can sense this craft heritage reflected in the careful design of the buildings.
The neighborhood sits close to public transportation, shops, and services, making daily errands convenient. Proximity to green spaces and recreational areas offers opportunities for walks and breaks from city life.
Nearby stand the remains of medieval Härlanda Church, demolished on orders from King Gustav I. This hidden fragment of the past shows how the region transformed dramatically over the centuries.
