Gymnasiehusen, Academic building in Stockholm, Sweden
The Gymnasiehusen features high-ceiling rooms, large arched windows, and a connecting passage spanning over Gymnasiegränd street to join its eastern and western sections.
Built in 1640, the structure incorporates remnants of a medieval monastery, including a star-vaulted room and basement facilities from the former Greyfriars monastery.
The building underwent modifications by architect Johan Fredrik Åbom in the late Empire style, transforming it into an educational institution for Stockholm's Gymnasium in 1821.
Located at coordinates 59.324256, 18.064297, the building maintains its position as an administrative structure within Stockholm's central district.
Below the current structure lie preserved walls reaching ten meters high along Gymnasiegränd, containing medieval bath house remains from Stockholm's earlier period.
