Franska värdshuset, Historical residence in Södra Djurgården, Sweden
The yellow wooden building with two separate wings stands near Djurgårdsvägen, featuring traditional Swedish architectural elements from the early 1800s.
Jean Babtist Le Maire commissioned the construction of this residential building in 1808, which initially operated as De Maires Wärdshus for Stockholm's nobility.
The Swedish Artist Club held their first summer celebration at this location in 1857, gathering leading artists of the period.
The residential structure maintains its original position between Djurgårdsstaden and Rosenvik, above the bridge connecting Djurgården to Beckholmen.
Swedish rowers used the building during the 1912 Olympics, renaming it Roddarhemmet Ching-Ching due to its proximity to the Olympic rowing course.
