KFUM-borgen, Uppsala, Residential building in Uppsala, Sweden

The KFUM-borgen features four floors of stone construction with a tile roof, situated near the Fyris River and Jernbron bridge in central Uppsala.

The building was constructed between 1908 and 1910 for the YMCA Uppsala, with financial support from patron Oscar Ekman under specific conditions for student use.

The second floor houses the Alfvén Hall, a concert venue with 250 seats that serves as the permanent home for the Orphei Drängar male choir.

The structure contains a mix of residential apartments, office spaces, and rental areas for businesses, including a recording studio and conference facilities.

The Artedi Park, located between the building and Fyris River, features the ODjuret sculpture created by Katarina Sundkvist Zohari in 2008.
