Gammelgården

Architect: The house was built in three stages, of which AL Herndahl ensured that the facade and roof were given a uniform 19th-century appearance.

Torpet The quarry under Karlbergs Kungsgård should have had a cottage in the middle of the 18th century.

The quarry ceased to be a croft and became a tenant farm in 1771, with the first documented lease agreement. The widow Juliana Sasse lived on the farm until 1818. Joachim Sasse was a German baker who had a baker's cottage built over a stone cellar where he had a maple distillery. Tobacco cultivation was mentioned for the first time in passing during Sasse's time.

In 1822, when a new lease was signed, the Stenbrott manor building contained stables and barns, a tobacco barn, two smaller outbuildings, an orangery and a lodge.

The next preserved lease for the Quarry has the gel caster old man AL Herndahl.

During Herndahl's time, red foxes were bred at Stenbrottet. He was an active hunter, and for Sweden's Jägarförbund, the farm is known as the place where the hunters' association was formed.

The next lease was held by ballet master Giovanni Ambrosiani, who was invited to Sweden by Gustav III, on the king's Italian trip in 1783. He became premiere dancer at the opera in 1795.

Karlberg became a military school in 1792. Giovanni was for 16 years a dance teacher for the cadets at Karlberg.

He must have lived at Stenbrottet, which was then called Dansmästarbostället.

Then in 1835 the lease was maintained by district clerk Johansson, probably with brother-in-law Fredrik Ambrosiani. Fredrik and Clara Ambrosiani made the farm a witness to Stockholm's white social life, with music, dance, and theater performances in the tobacco barn. Moods from the time are celebrated in incidental poems by the opera singer Carl Johan Uddman.

Bruno Ambrosiani became the only patron on the farm, took over the lease in 1881. Even then there were perhaps the 4 tobacco barns that have been documented in 1932. Then the right of ownership was also included. The tobacco plantation covered approx. 7 hectares. Bruno had the lease until 1922.

Gardener Linnman took over the contract and bought the buildings from Bruno. Bruno's widow

Vilhelmina Hoving rented the man building until her death in 1933.

In 1947, the Quarry with the exteriors of the Mangård building and Tiondeladan was declared a building monument, along with the designated area around the buildings. In 1994 there were proposals for safety regulations with extended protection regarding the building's interiors.

The building was culturally renovated in 1999 for representation and temporary office premises The tenant is Karolinska Institutet. The premises are 236 square meters.

The location of the quarry in the campus environment is a unique asset and a cultural treasure worth seeing for the future.
