Architecture in Stockholm
The buildings that survive from this period are mostly churches and royal buildings, since these were built from more durable materials than most other buildings from that period. Birger Jarls torn ("The Tower Of Birger Jarl") was considered the oldest building in the entire city, however, it is now known to have been erected by Gustav Vasa in the 16th century. The Riddarholmen Church from the late 13th century is considered to be the oldest surviving building in Stockholm. While it came to serve as the church of choice for royal burials, another church, the Storkyrkan ("Great Church") came to be used for coronations. Both of the churches have been redesign several times since their erection.
Scheffler Palace
The Scheffler Palace (), commonly known as the Haunted Mansion ("Spökslottet"), is a mansion located at Drottninggatan 116 in Stockholm, Sweden. The mansion, which was built in the 1690s by the merchant Hans Petter Scheffler, is the most famous, so called "haunted house" in Stockholm. Since the 1920s, the estate is owned by Stockholm University and mostly used for storage of art and to occasionally hold conferences.
