Oterdahlska huset, Medical History Museum in Nordstaden district, Gothenburg, Sweden.
The two-story brick building stands at the corner of Östra Hamngatan and Spannmålsgatan, featuring corridors added during its 19th-century expansion.
Built in 1793 as a single-story stone house, merchant Aron Oterdahl donated the structure to Sahlgrenska Hospital in 1808 for medical purposes.
The building housed the Gothenburg Trade and Maritime newspaper from 1855 to 1860, employing notable writers including poet Viktor Rydberg.
The Medical History Museum collection contains 100,000 items, with exhibits focusing on psychiatric history and medical developments through the centuries.
Detective constable Carl Olander met a tragic end within these walls on May 16, 1923, during the building's tenure as Gothenburg Police headquarters.
