Bergshyddan, Fåfängan, Historical villa in Södermalm, Sweden

Located on the northern slope of Fåfängan facing Masthamnen, Bergshyddan consists of multiple structures built during different time periods.

The villa traces its origins to 1839 when Scottish shipowner James Paton established it near Fåfängan, connecting it to an existing wooden structure in 1863.

During the early 1900s, the villa transformed into an artistic center when craftsman and painter Henrik Krogh and his wife Ingrid made it their residence.

Stockholm's property office manages the building, offering short-term residencies for artists from Nordic capitals during summer months since 1986.

The property underwent changes when the Danvik Canal construction in the 1920s altered the eastern landscape, bringing the steep slope closer to the building.
