Hovings malmgård, Office building in Södermalm, Stockholm, Sweden.
Hovings malmgård is an office building in Södermalm with neoclassical design featuring two stories and decorative architectural details. Its facade displays pilasters and rusticated corner chains, while the roof rises with a broken saddle form above the main structure.
Carl Gustaf Hoving, a dyer, commissioned construction of this manor in 1770 on Hammarby Lake's northern shore, designed by architect Casper Christian Friese. The building later changed uses and underwent foundation reinforcement in 2021.
Lars Johan Hierta, founder of Aftonbladet newspaper and stearin candle manufacturing pioneer, resided in the manor from 1842 to 1848.
The building sits at Alsnögatan 3 near Danvikstull and currently serves as office space accessible by public paths. The area around it provides good connectivity for visitors exploring the neighborhood.
A plaque above the entrance commemorates Lars Johan Hierta, founder of Aftonbladet newspaper, who lived here from 1842 to 1848. This connection to a pioneer of Swedish journalism adds historical depth to the building's story.
