Vårbyfjärden hangar, hangar in Huddinge Municipality, Sweden

Vårbyfjärden hangar is a rectangular aircraft storage building by the water in Huddinge Municipality, Sweden. It has stiff concrete walls, a metal roof, a wide door for airplanes, and a side facing the bay with curved windows and a small dock.

Built in 1935 by Johan Ernst Johansson, a pilot who erected it on his own land near Lake Mälaren, the hangar was designed to shelter a seaplane. During the 1950s it served as a school for seaplane flying and remained in use until Johansson died in 1975.

The old hangar and the remains of Johansson's house and windmill pole form a small cluster of structures that show how one person built a private place for seaplanes. Today the site feels quietly neglected, with only the concrete shell and the old dock left to suggest that someone once brought aircraft in from the lake.

You can walk around the outside and see the old concrete walls, the metal roof, and the dock area from the shore. The building itself stays closed, so plan to explore the nearby water and paths rather than expecting to go inside.

A Fairchild 24 seaplane bought by Johansson was taken by the Swedish Air Force during the Second World War, then returned and later sold north to Norrland before crashing in 1950. Only a few traces of that flying life remain today: the hangar, the house, and a tall windmill pole.
