Gamla huset, Medieval building in Gamla Stan, Sweden

The red brick structure stands prominently among other historical buildings, featuring white stone accents and large rectangular windows across three floors.

The building dates from the 15th century and holds connections to the events of the Stockholm Bloodbath of 1520, when Danish forces executed Swedish nobles.

The white stones incorporated into the facade in 1628 represent the 82 Swedish nobles who lost their lives during the tragic events of 1520.

The structure now houses several small businesses on its ground floor, while the upper levels contain residential apartments accessible through a central staircase.

The architectural elements combine medieval Swedish construction techniques with later Renaissance modifications, visible in the window frames and doorway designs.
