Schefflerska palatset

This guide to Schefflerska palatset in Stockholm centers on Petissan, a tiny café tucked into the mansion's north wing that for nearly forty years was the noisiest, most gossip-filled room in the city among students from the nearby technical college. You'll hear how the Baroque mansion itself began with the merchant Hans Petter Scheffler around 1700, and how it later earned the nickname Spökslottet, the haunted palace, tied to a later owner and a vanished burial vault. The guide follows the building from student hangout to its eventual handover to Stockholm University in 1924.
