Spökparken

The park features a harmonious mix of an 18th-century baroque garden with a pavilion and a 19th-century English-style layout with winding paths and large trees.

The land originated as a private garden belonging to the Scheffler Palace before its donation to Stockholm University in 1924 and subsequent transfer to Stockholm City in 1991.

This green space stands as Stockholm's only designated building monument park, preserving both baroque and English landscape design elements within its boundaries.

The park maintains two main entrances from Drottninggatan and Holländargatan streets, with walls and fences marking its boundaries toward Holländargatan and Rådmansgatan.

The park earned its name from an 1840 incident when a grave collapsed in the northern section, leading to local ghost stories and connections to the adjacent Spökslottet palace.
