Östermalmsfängelset, Former prison building in Östermalm, Stockholm, Sweden
The red brick fortress structure stands between Uggelviksgatan, Östermalmsgatan, and Rådmansgatan streets, next to Engelbrekt Church with granite foundation and limestone details.
Built from 1895 to 1897 following the 1841 parliamentary decision on prison reforms, this facility replaced the previous Norrmalm County Cell Prison.
The prison contained 115 cells and functioned as both a women's and men's correctional facility until 1925 when the National Archives took over the building.
The building remained a repository for archival documents from 1925 until 1968, when it was demolished to make space for the School of Architecture.
The exercise yards were designed in wedge shapes within the prison courtyard, and the basement contained a dark punishment cell for inmate discipline.
