Book Salon at Palatset on Söder with Sara Kristoffersson

Step into History at Södermalm

Step into the history and experience an evening filled with fascinating stories from one of Stockholm's most enigmatic palaces. You'll have a unique opportunity to be among the first to delve into the captivating portrayals from Laurinska House.

The grand, majestic palace on Södermalm, with its soaring towers and breathtaking views of Riddarfjärden, was completed in 1892. From its inception, Laurinska House became a magnet for cultural personalities and vibrant, often eccentric individuals. Think of Hanna Hirsch Pauli, Carl Gustaf Laurin, Else Kleen, Eva Dahlgren, and Efva Attling – just a selection of the many who've lived in and left their mark on the house's unique atmosphere.

Author Sara Kristoffersson, who resides in this historic home, now brings Stockholm's history to life in her new book, The Palatset on Söder: The People of Laurinska House. She skillfully weaves together everyday life, myths, the present, and cultural history in a beautiful and living description. Kristoffersson is an accomplished author, essayist, and frequent writer for Dagens Nyheter, known for being one of Sweden's sharpest voices in societal and cultural debates. She is also active as a professor of design history at Konstfack.

In the heart of the Old Town's small, intimate bookstore, we invite you to experience a book salon beyond the ordinary. This is your chance to meet Sara Kristoffersson in a close conversation about her captivating work and the fascinating building she calls home.
