The Blåsenhus area
Villa Lugnet is located just southeast of Uppsala Castle next to the prison in the Blåsenhus quarter. The cabin is built in Carolingian style and probably built in the last half of the 18th century. The house is built of timber in one and a half floors with two attic floors. The facade is paneled and colored red. The steep roof is thatched and covered with brick. The house has been rebuilt somewhat over the years, but some of the older fixed interior has been preserved. On the ground floor, for example, there is a tiled stove from the 18th century.
THE GOVERNOR'S HOUSE
Lugnet is a residential building, which originally belonged to the governor's residence. However, it is not clear who lived in the house at the time. Lugnet may have been the governor's summer residence or residence for his coachman. However, the building is also called "Queen Kristina's hunting lodge". Queen Kristina lived for a period in the 1650s at Uppsala Castle and may have had a hunting lodge nearby. However, hardly Lugnet, which was probably built in the 18th century. Where the name Lugnet comes from is not known.
OTHER BUILDING
Next to Lugnet there is a smaller residential and outbuilding, called Lilla Lugnet, which is part of the building memory. It is a one-story wooden house. The facade is paneled and colored red. In the vicinity of Lugnet, there used to be a stable meadow. It had been built to replace the old governor's stable on Övre Slottsgatan, which was demolished to make way for Carolina Rediviva in the early 1800s.
In 1922 Lugnet passed from the governor to the board of prisons. During a large part of the 20th century, the building served as a residence for the prison director. Lugnet is today owned by Akademiska Hus AB, but is rented by the municipality's social services.
Villa Lugnet has a considerable age and an archaic appearance. The house has a cultural-historical value, as it belonged to the governor's residence. Lugnet was declared a state building monument in 1935. It was expanded with Lilla Lugnet in 1993. After Akademiska Hus AB took over ownership, Lugnet became a building monument according to the Cultural Heritage Act on March 6, 1995.
