Södra Bankohuset, former central bank building in Gamla stan, Stockholm, Sweden

Södra Bankohuset is a block-size palace with a bright plaster and sandstone facade facing Järntorget and Skeppsbron, roofed with a Swedish säteri roof in copper. The western part by Nicodemus Tessin the Elder (1675–1682) has plain architraves; Carl Hårleman's eastern half (1733–1737) adds pediments, channelled rustication and a rocaille over the entrance spilling banknotes and coins. The west portal quotes Vignola's portal at Villa Farnese in Caprarola.

Construction began in 1675 for a banking institution and continued in stages through the mid-1700s. The extended building process reflects growing financial demands and architectural developments during this era.

The name Gamla Riksbanken, "the Old National Bank", is still used for the building. On the Skeppsbron side, a stone table painted blue with gilded crowns and the inscription "1603" survives from the earlier Scales House; one such table can still be seen in the entrance facing Skeppsbron. A walkway over Norra Bankogränd, built in the early 1800s to carry banknotes between the offices and the note store, is popularly called "Suckarnas bro" after the Bridge of Sighs in Venice.

The building fills the block between Järntorget and Skeppsbron, with Norra Bankogränd and Södra Bankogränd running along its north and south sides. From Järntorget, look for the Evert Taube statue on the pavement in front of the west facade. The 3,500 m² of offices have been leased to the games studio Embark Studios since December 2018, so the interior is not open to visitors.

The eastern entrance on Skeppsbron carries a rocaille spilling banknotes and coins, and a stone tablet painted blue with gilded crowns and the inscription "1603" survives from the earlier Scales House that stood on this site. The western portal quotes Vignola's portal at the Villa Farnese in Caprarola.
