Sahlgrenska huset, Residential palace in Nordstaden, Gothenburg, Sweden.

The yellow Flensburger brick building stretches 55 meters along Norra Hamngatan with two extending wings near the East India House and German Church.

Built in 1753 by Brigitta Sahlgren according to architect Bengt Wilhelm Carlberg's designs, the palace received King Gustav III during his 1773 visit to Gothenburg.

The second floor contains preserved Gustavian interiors from the late 18th century, featuring decorative elements from the period of Frederick Hammarén's ownership.

The 28-meter-tall structure houses regional government offices and can be accessed from Norra Hamngatan 14, Köpmansgatan 3, or Tyggårdsgatan 6.

The first documented consumption of punch in Sweden occurred here in 1733 when the East India Company's ship returned with arrack from Asia.
