Cedersdals malmgård, Single-family detached home in Vasastaden, Stockholm, Sweden
Cedersdals malmgård is a small wooden house with a yellow-painted facade and a broken (mansard-style) roof at Sveavägen 154, in the northwest corner of Vanadislunden park next to Sveaplan. It is one of the last remaining malmgårdar from the Norrtull area, and a contemporary tobacco shed used for drying leaves still stands on the plot.
Cedersdals malmgård was built in the early 18th century for tobacco planter Peter Cedersgren; a 1809 record names "Tobaks-Planteraren Peter Cerdergrens Tomter, Cedersdal Kallad". In 1783 the house was rebuilt for councilman Widberg. The property gave its name to Cedersdalsgatan, the street running north of the house.
The name Cedersdal comes from tobacco planter Peter Cedersgren, who built the house in the early 18th century; the plot later gave its name to Cedersdalsgatan, the street running north of the property. Stockholm City Museum gives the building its blue classification, meaning its cultural-historical value meets the requirements for a listed building (byggnadsminne).
The property sits near the Norrtull transit hub and is easily reached from multiple stops in the area. Visitors should use the pathways through the adjacent park to approach the building and explore its surroundings.
An original tobacco barn still stands on the property, once used for drying leaves during the historical tobacco production era. This outbuilding is a rare remnant of the region's economic past.
