Küselska huset, Baroque building at Skeppsbron 40 in Gamla Stan, Stockholm, Sweden

Küselska huset, also called Eliaesonska huset, is a building in the Argus block at Skeppsbron 40 in Gamla Stan, next to the Tullhuset. Its Roman baroque facade has vertical pilasters, a rusticated ground floor with lisener and window surrounds, and a base about two meters high clad in light brown sandstone. The roof cornice runs straight through the attic-storey windows, which were later enlarged and integrated into volute-shaped roof brackets.

The wealthy merchant Roland Eliaeson commissioned architect Nicodemus Tessin the Younger to design this residence in 1701, a time when Eliaeson was among Stockholm's richest citizens. The building has remained an important example of baroque architecture in the old town since then.

The house takes its name from merchant Carl Gottfried Küsel, who bought it in the mid-1700s; his firm Küsel och Wahrendorff kept its office here while he and his large family occupied the rest. In the 1950s, rooms with landscape-painted walls survived inside, alongside an original baroque hall and later 1700s fittings.

The building is located in Gamla Stan, Stockholm's historic center, and is easy to spot from the street. Visitors should know that access to the interior baroque rooms is not always open to the public and depends on the current occupants.

From 1992 to 2002, the building served as the filming location for the Dahlén family headquarters in the Swedish television series Rederiet. This role made the house recognizable to viewers of the popular show.
