Wernerska villan, Renaissance Revival mansion in Gothenburg, Sweden.

The Wernerska villan features a grand marble staircase through two levels of vestibule, decorated with marble stucco and exterior ornamental details.

Built in 1889 by architect Adrian C. Peterson for Carl Wijk, the mansion later belonged to Gustaf Werner who donated it to Gothenburg in 1948.

The mansion contains preserved public spaces including the staircase hall, dining room, and lounge, reflecting the architectural preferences of 1880s Sweden.

Located at Parkgatan 25 in Gothenburg Municipality, the building consists of a basement, two residential floors, and an attic space.

This residence became the first private home in Gothenburg with electricity, powered by a steam-driven dynamo installed in the basement.
