Rådhuset, Uppsala, Historic city hall in central Uppsala, Sweden.
Rådhuset Uppsala is a city building located beside Stora Torget square, combining traditional architecture with modern glass extensions in the courtyard. The interior contains multiple levels with offices, meeting rooms, and shared spaces for working professionals.
Claes Edenberg, a town councillor, built the house in 1645 as a private palace. From 1710 it housed Uppsala's city administration and town court. A rebuild in 1885–1886 by Herman Holmgren and Carl August Kihlberg gave it its present exterior; the city council first met in the new hall on 5 March 1886. The last council session was held on 15 December 1970, the district court left on 1 March 1974, and the last municipal offices moved out in 2008.
The building serves as a meeting place for professionals from different fields who work within its modern office spaces. It bridges its past as a municipal center with its present role as a contemporary work hub.
The location is centrally situated and provides access to varied work areas with meeting rooms equipped for video conferencing. A bistro and several shared spaces are available within the building and nearby surroundings.
The 17th-century cellar survives beneath the building, with barrel vaults resting on brick walls founded on grey stone and wooden piles. The council chamber added in the 1885–1886 rebuild hosted the city council's first meeting on 5 March 1886 and its last on 15 December 1970.
