Drottningholmsmalmen, Historical residential district in Ekerö Municipality, Sweden.

Drottningholmsmalmen contains numerous residential buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries, positioned near the northern shores of Lake Mälaren.

Gustav III granted town privileges to the area in 1782, establishing a grid-pattern urban plan to encourage merchants and craftsmen to settle there.

The district features traditional Swedish architecture with characteristic wooden panels and mansard roofs, representing the architectural styles of the 1700s.

The area maintains its residential character with preserved houses, streets following the original grid pattern including Långa raden and Dragonvägen.

The Kanton area includes twenty specialized buildings that were constructed specifically for manufacturing luxury items for the Swedish royal court.
