The history is in the walls.
Our historic house at Norra Bantorget has seen and heard most things and also met many people. Both giants, celebrities, the labor movement and guests from near and far. Within our walls, many memorable moments have taken place, now we look forward to creating new history. Together.
Architecture signed Sven Markelius.
The original People's House was already inaugurated in 1901, but the property soon proved to be too small for the ever-growing business. Therefore, one of the most renowned architects of the time, Sven Markelius, was hired to create the new meeting place for Stockholmers and the labor movement. The old building was demolished and a new one was completed in 1960.
At the opening, it was one of Europe's largest and most modern conference facilities – a masterpiece in funk style.
One of Stockholm's most important and loved places.
Norra Bantorget is a historical and cultural place with many important memorials. In the congress hall, greats such as Miles Davis and Frank Zappa have played, but above all, the place has played an important role in the history of the labor movement.
