Sagerska husen

Sagerska husen was a building complex consisting of two adjacent structures at Hamngatan 14 and 16 in central Stockholm. The buildings occupied the northern side of Kungsträdgården and formed a distinctive architectural presence in this bustling area of the city.

In 1888, brothers Edvard and Robert Sager acquired the properties and transformed them into distinguished residences. Robert sought architectural guidance from his French instructor when planning modifications that gave the ensemble a refined appearance.

The buildings reflected French architectural influences that shaped the Hamngatan streetscape. The renovations under Adolf Emil Melander in 1891 introduced stylistic elements that left a lasting mark on how Stockholmers remember this location.

The ground floor spaces were converted into retail establishments as Hamngatan developed into a major commercial district from the mid-20th century onward. You can better appreciate the site from the adjacent squares or side streets where the building facades become more visible.

The ensemble was known for its white marble facade and refined metalwork crafted by artisan Hjalmar Samuelsson. These distinctive details made the buildings a memorable part of Stockholm's streetscape until their demolition in 1970.
