Ryssgården, Pedestrian zone in Södermalm, Stockholm, Sweden

Ryssgården is an open square in Södermalm, Stockholm, bounded by Södermalmstorg, Katarinavägen and Peter Myndes backe. The Stockholm Sailors' Home (Stockholms sjömanshem) at Peter Myndes backe 3 closes its southern side. The Slussen metro entrance and the main entrance of the Stockholm City Museum open onto the square, and a model of Mercury from Sweden Solar System stands on it.

From 1641 to 1820 the square served as a storage yard for Russian staple goods, and from 1642 the so-called "new Russian weigh-house" stood here. By the mid-1650s the yard held 74 booths, a sauna and a church for the Russian merchants. A fire in August 1680 destroyed most of the booths and damaged the adjoining Södra stadshuset.

The name Ryssgården, in use since 1967, recalls the Russian merchants who stored goods here from 1641 to 1820. In the mid-1650s the yard held 74 booths, a sauna and a church for the Russian traders. A fire in August 1680 destroyed most of the booths and damaged the adjacent Södra stadshuset.

The Slussen metro entrance opens directly onto the square, and the main entrance of the Stockholm City Museum is reached from here as well. A new metro entrance was built on the square's eastern side during the Slussen redevelopment. The station platform lies about 7 metres below the surface.

The Mercury model on the square is one of the stops in Sweden Solar System, a scale model of the solar system running from the Ericsson Globe in Stockholm to Kiruna in the north. Mercury is the innermost and smallest planet, so its model sits close to the Globe, which represents the Sun.
