Gillet, Historic hotel building in Uppsala, Sweden
The three-story Gillet building features an exterior design from 1873, created by architect Adrian Crispin Peterson, with its original drawings displayed at the entrance until 2010.
Built in 1712 as a hospital for the poor, the building transformed into a restaurant in 1811 when the Uppsala Gille association acquired the property.
The building served as Hotel Gillet from 1908 to 1973, becoming a central meeting point for Uppsala residents and visitors seeking dining and accommodation.
Following extensive restoration by Uppsala Akademiförvaltning in 1994, the building now houses an art gallery, offices, and various retail establishments.
The building gained notoriety on March 7, 1932, when Fredrik von Sydow ended his life in the hotel vestibule, marking a significant event in Swedish criminal history.
