General information
In this building sits Engelska Skolan Norr, which was established in 1993 as the first independent school in Sweden that follows the national curriculum.
Previously, this building belonged to what was then called the Stockholm Epidemic Hospital. On March 28, 1890, the City Council decided to build this hospital high up on Albanokullen. It is an isolated place and therefore suited the purpose.
The building was designed by architect Per Emanuel Werming.
For a long time, the hospital received people who fell ill with infectious, epidemic diseases such as smallpox, typhoid and cholera, and from the 1980s it also treated the first AIDS patients in the country.
In 1966, Stockholm's epidemic hospital became Roslagstull's hospital, which was closed down in 1992.
