Benny Fredrikssons torg, Pedestrian square at Kulturhuset Stadsteatern entrance in Stockholm, Sweden.
Benny Fredrikssons torg is a pedestrian square situated beneath the Kulturhuset cultural center, connecting Brunkebergstorg to Sergels torg through an archway. The space functions as a walkway lined with numbered addresses and offers shelter while moving between these larger city squares.
The area was originally known as Beridarebansgatan before receiving its current name in May 2019 in honor of theater director Benny Fredriksson. This renaming reflects the city's recognition of his contributions to Stockholm's theatrical scene.
The square is named after a renowned theater director and serves as a gathering space for visitors to the adjacent cultural center. The sculpture 'Girl Making a Face' by Lena Cronqvist creates a focal point that shapes how people experience the area.
The square is fully closed to vehicle traffic, making it a safe environment for pedestrians at all times. Access is straightforward as it functions as an open public passageway beneath a large building.
A large linden tree grows in the center of the square and stands in striking contrast to the modern architecture of the cultural center. This natural feature creates an unexpected green space within the underground area.
