Katarina power station

The brick Katarina power station stands at Kapellgränd 10-14, featuring tall window vaults and elements influenced by Moorish architectural designs at its exterior.

Inaugurated in 1905, the power station operated until 1992, providing electrical infrastructure for Stockholm during a significant period of urban development.

Architect Ferdinand Boberg incorporated design elements from his travels to Morocco, resulting in a structure that merged industrial functionality with Eastern architectural influences.

The building sits at coordinates 59.315833 latitude and 18.075278 longitude, near the Stockholm Mosque and several public transportation connections.

The power station's orientation toward Mecca and its architectural features facilitated its later conversion into Stockholm's largest mosque in 2000.
