Dragongården

Dragongården, Building complex in Gärdet, Stockholm, Sweden

Dragongården is a complex of buildings on Gärdet in Stockholm. Its main building, erected in 1879–1881 to designs by Ernst Jacobsson, has two storeys plus an attic, stone walls and plastered facades. East of it stands a yellow-painted 1½-storey annex built in 1895.

The main building was erected in 1879–1881 to designs by architect Ernst Jacobsson, in stone with plastered facades, and housed the Life Regiment Dragoons' office. After the regiment was disbanded in 1927, the area served the 1930 Stockholm Exhibition and later museum purposes. Folke Bernadotte's family lived here until the mid-1970s; in the 1990s the building became the Chinese ambassador's residence.

The name Dragongården comes from the Life Regiment's Dragoons, whose office was in the main building. Since the 1990s the main building has served as the residence of the Chinese ambassador, while the yellow annex east of it, outside the embassy grounds, was built in 1895 as a canteen for the dragoons and later housed a garage and chauffeur's quarters.

Dragongården stands on Gärdet in Stockholm, at the coordinates 59.33194, 18.12475. The main building lies inside the fenced embassy grounds and is not open to visitors; the yellow annex east of it stands outside the embassy plot and can be seen from the surrounding streets.

The yellow 1½-storey annex east of the main building, outside the embassy grounds, was built in 1895 as a canteen for the Life Regiment's Dragoons. It later served as a garage and chauffeur's residence, then as a course centre, and stood empty awaiting renovation in 2011.
