The story of Fem små hus

Fem små hus ("five little houses") stands at Nygränd 10, on the corner of Österlånggatan in Gamla stan. The name is literal: the restaurant spreads across parts of five buildings along Nygränd, with nine vaulted cellars on different levels. The oldest of the five, known as Hans Hansson's house, dates from 1651.

The earliest record of an inn at the address is from 1694. One of the first people to run it was Anna Lindberg, who kept an unlicensed tavern here in the 1690s before it became legal. The place has gone by other names over the centuries: Tre Kungar (Three Kings) in the early 1700s and Tre Prinsar (Three Princes) until well into the 1800s.

The restaurant took its present form in 1969, when ICA-restauranger reopened it after a major renovation with seating for 150. In 1982 it was bought by Roland Persson, a former head cellar master at ICA-restauranger. The cooking is Swedish husmanskost with French touches.

Sun on the terrace, according to Stoligt

Times look wrong, for example because the terrace is on the other side of the building? Fix the location in OpenStreetMap and Stoligt will follow at the next update.

How Stoligt works it out

Every ten minutes we draw a line from each terrace toward the sun and check whether a building or hill is tall enough to block it. Building heights come from OpenStreetMap and ground heights from Lantmäteriet, the Swedish mapping agency. The times assume a clear day, so clouds are not included here. They are on the live map, which shows today's weather.

Trees, parasols and awnings are not in the model, and we don't know exactly where on the pavement the tables stand. Treat the times as an educated guess, often accurate to within ten minutes.
