Dekanhuset, Uppsala, Academic building in Uppsala, Sweden

The Dekanhuset stands between Uppsala Cathedral and Helga Trefaldighets Church, featuring 45 heated rooms in the main building and two auxiliary structures.

Originally known as Curia decani in 1326, the building underwent reconstruction in 1452 after a fire destroyed the initial structure in 1447.

The Faculty of Theology occupied the building from 1936 to 2005, establishing professor offices and a faculty library through multiple renovations.

Located at Biskopsgatan 2, the building currently serves as offices for Statens fastighetsverk following its 2005-2006 restoration.

Petter Julinsköld's embezzlement of university funds led to the building's transfer to Uppsala University ownership after his death in 1768.
