Thulehuset, Sveavägen, Commercial office building at Sveavägen 44, Stockholm, Sweden.
Thulehuset is a nine-story office building on Sveavägen 44 in Stockholm covered with bright yellow glazed ceramic tiles imported from Czechoslovakia. Multiple entrances surround the building's perimeter, and a 2014 renovation added two new floors, a rooftop terrace with gardens, and three large light wells for natural light.
Architect Gustaf Clason designed the building between 1938 and 1942 as the headquarters for the Thule insurance company. The company merged with Skandia in 1963, and the building was adapted for various commercial uses after that.
The building served as a gathering location for the Swedish resistance movement during the Cold War due to its multiple entrances and underground passages.
The building is easily accessible by subway or public transportation in central Stockholm. Since it is an active office building, access to interior spaces may be limited for visitors.
The corner of this building is where Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme was killed on February 28, 1986. This location remains an important historical landmark in Swedish memory.
