an archaeological excavation in 1993, in the intersection with prästgatan and tullgränd just south of södra benickebrinken, unveiled a bricked wall 0,5 metres under the current street. this section of österlånggatan used to be much narrower, and the wall is what remains of a building once located on number 34-36 on the western side of the street, demolished together with a triangular block located between österlånggatan and the two slopes north of the intersection when the southern part of the street was widened in 1898. the building was known as "kyskendal" ("chastity valley"), described as a "cupid's tempel filled with priestesses from basement to attic", while the basement was the location for the tavern "krypin" ("creep/crawl-in"), mentioned by c m bellman in his 23rd epistle.
