The Blåsenhus area
Villa Lugnet is located just southeast of Uppsala Castle next to the former prison in the Blåsenhus quarter. Villa Lugnet is built in the Carolingian style and probably erected during the first half of the 18th century. The house is built of timber in one and a half floors with two attic floors. The facade is clad with panels and painted red. The steep roof is hipped and covered with bricks. The house has been rebuilt a bit over the years, but some of the older fixed furnishings have been preserved. For example, there is a tiled stove from the 18th century on the ground floor. Villa Lugnet is a former residential building, which originally belonged to the governor's residence. However, it is not clear who lived in the house at the time. Villa Lugnet may have been the governors summer residence or a residence for his coachman. However, the building is also called "Queen Kristinas hunting lodge". Queen Kristina lived for a period in the 1650s at Uppsala Castle and may have had a hunting lodge nearby. However, it is unlikely that Villa Lugnet was built in the 18th century. The origin of the name Villa Lugnet is unknown. Next to Villa Lugnet is a smaller residential and outbuilding, called Lilla Lugnet, which is included in the listed building. It is a one-story wooden house. The facade is clad in panels and painted red. There was also previously a stable yard near Villa Lugnet. It had been built to replace the old county governors stable on Övre Slottsgatan, which was demolished to make way for Carolina Rediviva in the early 19th century. In 1922, Villa Lugnet was transferred from the county governor to the Prison Service. For a large part of the 20th century, the building served as the residence of the prison director. Villa Lugnet is currently owned by Akademiska Hus AB. Villa Lugnet is quite old and has an old-fashioned appearance. The house has a cultural and historical value, as it was the residence of the county governor. Villa Lugnet was declared a state monument in 1935. It was expanded with Lilla Lugnet in 1993. After Akademiska Hus AB took over ownership, it became a monument in 1995 according to the Cultural Monuments Act.
