Amerikaskjulet, Maritime terminal in Gothenburg, Sweden
The Amerikaskjulet terminal building features a granite foundation, plastered facades, and yellow glazed tiles forming a continuous band on the ground floor.
Completed in 1912, Amerikaskjulet served as the first deep-water quay in Gothenburg harbor, enabling Swedish American Line vessels to dock at berth 36.
The name Amerikaskjulet, meaning America Shed, reflects its role as a departure point for Swedish emigrants heading to North America in the early 20th century.
The building now houses offices of the Gothenburg Port Authority on its top floor and functions as a cruise terminal for vessels up to 225 meters long.
The structure earned the nickname Concrete Shed as it stood out among wooden and metal buildings at Stigbergskajen during its construction period.
