Palmeska huset, Office building in Kungsträdgården, Stockholm, Sweden

The five-story stone structure features a neo-renaissance facade with decorative lion masks and cartouches along the ground floor exterior walls.

Built between 1884 and 1886 for bank director Henrik Palme, the building stands where the former Hammerska theater once operated.

Three notable architects collaborated on the design: Helgo Zettervall created the facade sketches while Axel Kumlien and Ludwig Peterson developed the floor plans.

The building serves as the headquarters of Svenska Handelsbanken, with an octagonal dome covering the main banking hall following renovations in the 1930s.

A continuous balcony extends across three sides of the building at the main floor level, adding to its architectural prominence in central Stockholm.
