Drakenbergsområdet

The Drakenbergsområdet encompasses nine residential buildings constructed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, designed by architect Lars Bryde.

The area received its name from a 17th-century tavern called Draken, established by Melchior Schipman in 1669 near the first Liljeholmsbron bridge.

The district represents a notable example of the Million Program housing initiative within central Stockholm rather than in the suburban areas.

The residential complex stands south of Hornsgatan street, with convenient access to public transportation through the Stockholm metro and bus system.

The Western Main Line railway passed through the current Drakenbergsparken park area until 1929, when traffic shifted to the Årsta Bridge.
