Residenset, Malmö, Administrative building and castle at Stortorget, Malmö, Sweden

The Residenset building combines two connected structures with distinct architectural elements, featuring Renaissance and Baroque design characteristics throughout its facade.

Originally constructed in the late 16th century, the building became the residence of Skåne's governor following the 1658 Roskilde Peace Treaty.

The structure represents Swedish administrative heritage through its continuous function as both governmental offices and the County Governor's official residence.

The building maintains its administrative functions while offering guided tours that explain its architectural development and historical transformations through the centuries.

King Charles XV spent his final moments in this building, where he died on September 18, 1872, marking a significant moment in Swedish royal history.
