Johanneshovs skans, Military fortification in Johanneshov, Sweden.
A 79-meter granite wall with two corner bastions and internal shooting galleries stands as remains of an incomplete fortification project from 1859.
The Swedish Parliament stopped construction in 1860 when military technology advances made the planned defense structure unnecessary for Stockholm's protection.
The stone wall segments inside the WSP office building represent the transformation of military architecture into modern commercial spaces in Stockholm.
The historical foundation walls remain accessible to visitors during regular office hours through the lobby of the building on Arenavägen.
Archaeological investigations in 1998 revealed extensive original structures that were integrated into the basement design of the current office complex.
