Gamla Riksarkivet, National archives building in Stockholm, Sweden.
The granite and brick structure features large windows facing the Old Town to maximize natural light throughout the building interior.
Construction of the Old National Archives began in 1887 and concluded in 1891, replacing a previous facility that burned down in 1697.
The building holds governmental records, parliamentary documents, and educational system archives that document Sweden's national heritage from the 16th century.
The structure underwent modernization between 2008 and 2011, adding climate control systems and fire protection while maintaining historical elements.
During the 1800s, archive workers adjusted their schedules according to daylight hours due to the absence of electrical lighting.
