Kungsladugård, Residential district in Gothenburg, Sweden
Kungsladugård is a residential district in Gothenburg with wooden houses that have private gardens scattered across sloping terrain. The northern part features tightly built row houses, while the southern section contains more open blocks of detached and semi-detached homes.
The area originated from a royal estate connected to Älvsborg Castle, receiving its name in the 17th century. It later developed into a mixed residential district serving different layers of society.
The neighborhood displays different housing styles from different periods, including traditional wooden houses and workers' dwellings that reflect Gothenburg's everyday life. These varied building types developed over time and shape the character of the area today.
The area has good public transportation connections to central Gothenburg and is near schools, supermarkets, and parks. A large water play area is available for families visiting the district.
The district combines two very different housing types into one connected area, reflecting how it grew over time. This mix of compact and open residential blocks makes it a rare example of contrasting city planning approaches in a single neighborhood.
