Riksplan

Riksplan, Public park at Helgeandsholmen, Stockholm, Sweden

Riksplan is a public park on Helgeandsholmen island that connects the Parliament House with Norrbro bridge, with paved pathways that follow the original construction orientation on the island. Marble feed tables from the former royal stables remain in the northeastern section, while underground passages link different areas of the parliament complex.

The open space between the Parliament House and Norrbro was named Riksplan in 1925, but its appearance has been debated since the Parliament building opened in 1905. During the building's renovation and extension in 1980–1983, archaeological digs here uncovered medieval structures; the temporary pit became known as Riksgropen. The present layout dates from 1983, with paths following the orientation of the original buildings on Helgeandsholmen.

The glass obelisk on Riksplan is engraved on all four sides with a text by the writer Alf Henrikson. It also serves as the skylight for the Medieval Museum, which lies directly beneath the square. The name Riksplan was fixed in 1925 for the open space between the Parliament House and Norrbro.

The park is an open space accessible at all times and easy to explore on foot, with clear paved pathways that make walking straightforward. Benches are scattered throughout for resting, and the area is generally easy to navigate.

In the northeastern corner of Riksplan stands the old marble feed trough from the royal stables, moved here from Nicodemus Tessin the Younger's stable on Helgeandsholmen. The glass obelisk nearby is engraved on all four sides with a text by Alf Henrikson and lets daylight down to the Medieval Museum beneath the square.
