Länscellfängelset i Göteborg, Former county prison in Lilla Bommen, Sweden
The prison structure features a three-floor main building with 107 cells and two additional wings containing courtrooms and medical facilities.
Construction of Länscellfängelset began in 1854 and opened in 1857, replacing an older facility on Sillgatan as part of Sweden's prison reform program.
The facility transformed into the Rosenborg shelter operated by the Salvation Army from 1907 until its demolition in 1972, serving the local community.
Located at the former S:t Erik bastion site, the prison cost 192,340 kronor to build and operated until the transfer of inmates to Härlandafängelset in 1907.
The prison housed more debtors than criminals in its later years, reflecting the social conditions of 19th-century Gothenburg.
