Beridarebanan, Horse racing facility in Hötorget, Sweden.
The Beridarebanan extended from Hötorget to Mäster Samuelsgatan, with boundaries marked by present-day Sergelgatan and Slöjdgatan streets in central Stockholm.
Gustav II Adolf ordered the construction of Beridarebanan in 1623, starting with a wooden structure called Ränebanshus that featured a gallery supported by wooden pillars.
The facility hosted Queen Christina's coronation celebration in 1650, where elaborate ceremonies and tournaments demonstrated Swedish royal traditions.
Soldiers preparing for the Thirty Years' War gathered at Beridarebanan for military musters, combining military preparation with the venue's primary equestrian functions.
After its demolition in the 1690s, the site transformed into iron foundries that produced statues for the new royal castle of Stockholm.
