The Crown House (Kronhuset) and the Crown House Courtyard
The Crown House (Kronhuset) is the oldest house in Gothenburg, built in 1654. Originally a storehouse for the Swedish artillery, it was also the place where the four-year-old son of King Karl X Gustav was proclaimed King Karl XI in 1660. Today it is home to Göteborgsmusiken, a professional brass band. The courtyard is a living handicraft centre with several traditional shops and workshops; a glassblower, a goldsmith, a clockmaker and a chocolate are all based here.
