Heleneborg, Historic estate in Södermalm, Stockholm, Sweden.
The yellow brick building stands prominently along Söder Mälarstrand, facing Långholmen island and positioned near the Västerbron bridge.
In 1864, a devastating nitroglycerin explosion at the estate's laboratory killed Emil Nobel, leading his brother Alfred to relocate his explosive research to Germany.
The estate received its name from Helena Catharina Malmin, wife of owner Adolph Christiernin, who operated a clay pipe production facility there from 1759.
The main building remains as the sole structure from the original estate, as the surrounding grounds were divided for apartment construction in 1906.
The estate housed multiple industrial ventures, including tobacco manufacturing, clay pipe production, and notably, the Nobel family's nitroglycerin experiments.
