Stadsgårdshissen, Transport elevator in Södermalm, Sweden

The Stadsgårdshissen elevator tower stands between Slussen transport interchange and the elevated district of Södermalm, connecting different levels of Stockholm.

Built in 1907 to replace the original 1881 steam-powered lift, the structure underwent major renovations in 1936 and reopened in October 2023.

The elevator shaped the development of Södermalm by enabling residents to move easily between different elevations, transforming the neighborhood's accessibility patterns.

Visitors can reach the elevator by taking the Green Line metro to Slussen Station and walking up Hökens Gata to the entrance of Katarina bridge.

During its first month of operation in 1883, the original elevator carried 1,500 passengers daily, with different prices for ascending and descending trips.
