Sirishov, Protected residential building in Djurgården, Stockholm, Sweden

Sirishov is a listed residential building in Stockholm's Djurgården district, displaying stonework and classical proportions rooted in 18th-century Swedish building tradition. It is officially classified as an individually listed building complex, which means it is protected as a single coherent structure.

The oldest part of Sirishov dates from the 1760s, when merchant von Yhlen built a two-storey timber summer house called Matshof on the site of the 17th-century Cossva croft. Bank director A. O. Wallenberg bought the property in 1864 or 1866 and had architect Ernst Abraham Jacobsson remodel it in Swiss style with steep roofs and a tower. The villa was listed as a building monument on 23 October 1989.

The name Sirishov is said to come from Sten Abraham Piper's favourite dog Siri; the villa later gave the name new meaning when Siri Eleonora Wallenberg, born there in 1868, was christened after it. She received the house as a wedding gift in 1896 and lived there until 1964, when it passed to her daughter, the painter Sigrid Oxenstierna-Aminoff.

The building sits in Djurgården, a district that is easy to reach from central Stockholm by public transport or on foot along the waterfront. Since it is an active private residence, visitors can only see it from the outside, so a walk through the surrounding area works well for a visit.

The name Sirishov may come from chamberlain Sten Abraham Piper's favourite dog, Siri. A later twist: Siri Eleonora Wallenberg, born in the house in 1868, was christened after the villa, giving the name a new meaning. The old stable east of the main building, Nedre Sirishov, served as artist Sigrid Oxenstierna-Aminoff's studio.
