Johan Skyttes hus

Johan Skyttes hus, Historical building at Södermalmstorg 4, Stockholm, Sweden

Johan Skyttes hus is a three-storey stone building with a stepped gable at Södermalmstorg 4 in the Överkikaren block. It was built in the 1640s for riksråd Johan Skytte and completed by his heirs by 1649. The top floor holds Anders Zorn's 1913 studio, with a large north-facing window and three dormers facing the square.

The plot at Södermalmstorg 4 was assigned in 1644 to Johan Skytte, who died in May 1645; his heirs completed the house by 1649. After the Mariabranden of 1759 it was rebuilt to drawings by city architect Carl Henrik König, who lived there himself. Jeweller Christian Hammer owned it until 1912, and a thorough rebuild followed in 1907 under Carl Kempendahl.

The top-floor studio was fitted out for Anders Zorn in 1913, with a large north-facing window and three dormers added toward the square. After Zorn it was used by Kurt Jungstedt, then by Evert Taube until 1976; since 2021 it has been used by Ernst Billgren.

The building stands at Södermalmstorg 4, at the corner where Hornsgatan and Götatan meet, in the Överkikaren block. The square in front is a busy transit hub, so the facade is easiest to see from the open space rather than from the street corner. The courtyard is not open to visitors.

The top-floor studio was added in 1913 for Anders Zorn, who kept his Stockholm residence and studio here until 1920. The conversion by Sigurd Westholm and John Alban Bagger also gave the house its large north-facing studio window and three dormers facing Södermalmstorg. Evert Taube later took over the studio and held it until his death in 1976; since 2021 it has been used by Ernst Billgren.
