Queen Christina’s hunting lodge

Historic house and attraction in central Gothenburg.

Queen Christina’s hunting lodge is an 18th-century building (rebuilt in the 19th century) located on Otterhällan by Kungshöjd in central Gothenburg. The building has nothing to do with Queen Christina. The name is said to have arisen from the fact that during the 18th century a tavern was allegedly operated in the house, which was then not too far from the Christina Regina (Queen Christina) bastion. The tavern in the house is said to have been well frequented by the bastion’s jacks and therefore, with a bit of humour, got its name. During the 1970s, the house was moved to its current location, approximately 100 meters from its original location.

The house can also be rented for smaller parties and gatherings. There is a kitchen that is equipped with a large fridge, oven, stove, coffee and kettle and microwave. Read more here.
