Palacehuset

Palacehuset, Heritage building in Inom Vallgraven, Sweden.

Palacehuset sits at Södra Hamngatan and houses a hotel, restaurant, and commercial spaces totaling around 4,800 square meters. The building combines historic architecture with diverse modern functions for visitors and diners.

Palacehuset was built from November 1749 as a sugar refinery for merchant Niclas Jacobsson, designed by Carl Hårleman and inaugurated on 14 May 1751. It was rebuilt after fires in 1792 and 1813. In 1841 Eduard Magnus bought it and converted it into a four-family house; from 1880 Pontus and Göthilda Fürstenberg lived there, and in 1907 it reopened as the Palace Hotel.

Young artists including Carl Larsson, Anders Zorn and Bruno Liljefors lived in the house and decorated it in exchange for board and lodging, coordinated by sculptor Per Hasselberg. The top floor, added in 1885, became the Fürstenberg Gallery. The couple bequeathed the building and their art collection to the city of Gothenburg.

The building sits in a central location within easy walking distance of the old town, with ground-floor shops and restaurants openly accessible to visitors. The restaurant operates during business hours while the hotel offers accommodation separately.

A wooden footbridge, the Personalbron, still carries staff from Norra Hamngatan across the Stora Hamnkanalen straight into the building's kitchen, and it is fitted with two lamp posts. In 1807 the town slaughterhouse stood about ten metres from the east gable, its length matching the building's width.
