Fengerska huset, Historical building in Ryssgården, Sweden
Fengerska huset is a three-story stone residential building in the Ryssgården neighborhood, located at the corner of Södermalmstorg square. The facade displays classic Nordic styling with its pitched roof, symmetrical windows, and narrow multi-pane windows characteristic of that period.
The building was constructed in 1647 and ranks among the oldest structures in Ryssgården, which developed during the period when Russian merchants established themselves in Stockholm. This era shaped the neighborhood and its architecture for centuries to come.
The building displays construction methods typical of wealthy merchants from the 17th century and still shapes the character of Södermalmstorg square today. It recalls a time when this location served as an important meeting place for traders and craftspeople.
The building sits directly next to the Slussen metro exit, making it easy to locate while visiting the neighborhood. The square is walkable from the Old Town area of Gamla Stan and has several cafes and shops in the immediate surroundings.
The name derives from an early owner, a wealthy merchant whose family remained connected to the place for generations. The building is still occupied today and preserves its private residential function from the 17th century.
