Vasahuset

Vasahuset is a residential building from the early 1900s located across from Vasaparken, displaying dark blue facades with elaborate Art Nouveau architectural details. Following renovations in 2014, its loft space was converted into 29 small apartments.

Architect Erik Hahr designed this residential structure in 1906 as the city was developing. It survived the period when many other buildings throughout Uppsala were demolished.

The building displays Swedish Art Nouveau style through its decorative exterior details and ornamental elements. These features make it an important reference point for understanding local architectural traditions.

The building is located near Vasaparken, making it easy to reach on foot. The surrounding area with its green setting provides a pleasant experience when exploring the architecture.

The building was recognized as Uppsala's most beautiful structure in 2020 through a public competition. This recognition by Arkitektupproret highlights its special standing among the city's modern buildings.
