Skytteanum, Medieval university residence in Old Town, Uppsala, Sweden.
The three-story brick building features a semicircular archway connecting Fyristorg with Riddartorget and includes decorative iron letters on its facade.
Dating from the 14th century, the structure underwent renovation in 1626 to accommodate the first Johan Skytte Professor of Eloquence and Government at Uppsala University.
The building maintains its role as the residence for the Skytte Professor, continuing a tradition established in 1622 when Johan Skytte endowed the chair.
The facility contains research spaces, teaching areas for political science, two additional buildings, and a garden that opens to visitors during weekday hours.
Ten iron letters on the facade spell out the names of Johan Skytte and his wife Maria Nääf, functioning as both structural anchors and historical markers.
