Thomanders studenthem

Thomanders studenthem is a residential building in Lund that houses university students and stands at the corner of Sandgatan and Biskopsgatan streets. The structure displays architectural features from the 19th century with its distinctive facade.

The building was constructed in 1855 by architect Henrik Sjöström as housing for university students. It received protected heritage status in 1993, formally recognizing its importance in Swedish architectural history.

The residence brings together students from different fields of study who share daily tasks like window cleaning, cooking, and gardening as part of their communal life. These shared responsibilities create strong bonds among those living here.

The building sits at the intersection of Sandgatan and Biskopsgatan in central Lund, making it easy to reach on foot. Residents enjoy proximity to university buildings and other student facilities scattered throughout the city.

When residents leave, they receive a house key as a memento, which has been duplicated over 400 times throughout the years. This key becomes a lasting symbol of their connection to this place and its community.
