Aschanska Villa, National Romantic villa in Umeå, Sweden

The wooden structure stands on a stone foundation with a facade painted in traditional red, incorporating local architectural elements from the early 1900s.

Colonel Wilhelm Aschan commissioned architect Ragnar Östberg to design this residence in 1906, following the rebuilding period after the great fire of 1888.

The villa exemplifies the National Romantic architectural movement in Sweden through its use of regional materials like wood, stone, brick, and red paint.

The building, located at Västra Strandgatan 17 in central Umeå, operates as a restaurant where visitors can experience the historical interior.

The villa forms part of a planned waterfront development along Skeppsbron, representing the first wave of residential construction in this area.
