Slakthusområdet, Industrial district in southern Stockholm, Sweden.
Slakthusområdet is an industrial district in southern Stockholm combining modern buildings with preserved factory structures from the early 1900s. The area spans multiple blocks and displays both new construction and restored older structures side by side.
The area began in 1912 as a food processing center with numerous meat facilities and cold storage serving Stockholm's growing population. Over the decades these industrial functions gradually transformed into modern uses.
Former factory buildings now house concert halls and performance venues where visitors gather on weekends for live music and entertainment.
The district connects to central Stockholm through public transportation and will gain improved access with a new metro station under development. Visitors should allow time to explore the different sections of the area on foot.
Former meat processing facilities now serve as creative spaces for technology companies, recording studios, and experimental art galleries. This transformation shows how abandoned industrial buildings gained new purpose.
