Rannsakningsfängelset, Myntgatan, Nineteenth-century remand prison building in central Stockholm, Sweden
The Rannsakningsfängelset building on Myntgatan displays medieval Florentine architecture with detailed stonework and structural elements designed by Per Axel Nyström.
Constructed between 1846 and 1852, this facility served as a temporary detention center for individuals awaiting trial within Stockholm's criminal justice system.
The building represents the evolution of Swedish penal architecture, reflecting mid-1800s approaches to criminal justice through its structural design and location.
Located near the Parliament and Supreme Court buildings, the structure connects to underground passages that were used for secure prisoner transportation.
The building incorporates specific architectural elements that combine security requirements with Florentine medieval design principles in ways uncommon for Nordic prison structures.
