Lillienhoff Palace, 17th century palace in Medborgarplatsen, Sweden
Description
Lillienhoff Palace is a three-story residence with Dutch baroque features occupying a prominent corner at Gotgatan street. The ground floor houses a restaurant today, while the upper floors function as residential apartments.
History
A wealthy merchant commissioned a notable architect to design this house in the early 1670s and was soon thereafter elevated to nobility. In the early 18th century, the building served briefly as a diplomatic residence before serving other purposes later.
Culture
The building is named after a merchant who was ennobled in the 17th century and continues to shape the appearance of the square today. Its facade tells the story of an era when this location was a center for wealthy families.
Practical
The square is centrally located and easily accessible on foot, with clear access from Gotgatan street. Public areas are present on the ground floor, while the apartments above remain private.
Did you know?
In the 1970s, the underground section became a popular venue for nightlife and music events. This unexpected use of the historic cellar turned the building into a cultural meeting point beyond its original purposes.
