Keyserska huset, Late 18th-century residential building in Stockholm, Sweden
Keyserska huset was a four-story residential building located at Rödbodtorget, designed by architect Ture Wennberg. The structure displayed the typical urban architecture of its era with classical proportions.
The building was constructed between 1799 and 1804 for Abraham Keyser and later hosted the Stockholm Industrial Exhibition. Its demolition in the early 20th century marked the transformation of the site toward a modern center.
The building appears in Swedish literature as a setting for secret gatherings and played a role in local stories of the time. Its historical presence made it a notable landmark in Stockholm's cultural memory.
The original building no longer exists, as it was demolished in the early 20th century. Visitors can see today the location where the Centralpalatset building was constructed in its place.
A stone inscription documenting the building's construction under King Gustav IV Adolf disappeared in 1938 and remains missing. This lost artifact shows how time can obscure historical records.
