Birger Jarlspassagen, shopping mall in Stockholm, Sweden

Birger Jarlspassagen is Stockholm's smallest and oldest shopping arcade, running diagonally through the Rännilen block from Smålandsgatan 10 to Birger Jarlsgatan 9. The roughly 40-metre passage, built 1894–1896, has a glass roof over the walkway and dark, richly decorated wooden panelling. Its facades are clad in Roslag sandstone, and the round-arched shop windows and portals were inspired by the architecture of Henry Hobson Richardson.

Builder Johan Sjöqvist bought the plot in 1891 and had architect Ludvig Peterson design a commercial building with the diagonal passage in its ground floor. Construction ran from 1894 to 1896, and King Oscar II inaugurated it in 1897 during the General Art and Industry Exhibition. Sjöqvist and Peterson had studied the Kaisergalerie in Berlin as the model, though the Stockholm passage is about 40 metres long against its 130.

The passage is named after Birger Jarl, the 13th-century ruler linked to Stockholm's founding, and the name was carried over from the adjacent Birger Jarls basar office building of 1887. Builder Johan Sjöqvist hand-picked the tenants for elegance and quality, and the 13 shops included Café Passage just inside the Smålandsgatan entrance. From 1905 the café premises housed the Biograf Varieté cinema, renamed Maxim in 1908 and screening films until 1963.

The diagonal passage runs under the rear courtyard between Smålandsgatan 10 and Birger Jarlsgatan 9, lit by a glass roof that is still in place today. The building and passage are blue-marked by the Stockholm City Museum, denoting exceptionally high cultural-historical value.

The passage's public toilet, a "kabinett" for ladies and gentlemen, had marble-clad walls and doors of polished mahogany. The building and passage are blue-marked by the Stockholm City Museum, meaning they represent exceptionally high cultural-historical values.
