The story of Långholmens Wärdshus

Långholmens Wärdshus occupies Alstavik, a 17th-century manor house on the south side of Långholmen. It was built for the brewmaster Jochum Ahlstedt and finished in 1670, the first stone building on the island. Ahlstedt kept gardens and fish ponds here and malted grain, although his brewery was in Gamla stan.

In 1724 the state bought the house and turned it into Långholmen's spinning house, a penal workhouse for women. When the women's prison moved to Norrmalm in 1825, Alstavik became part of Långholmen's central prison, which finally closed in 1975. The buildings then stood empty and fell into disrepair.

The house was refurbished in 1988–89, and in 1989 the Långholmen hotel and hostel opened along with the inn. Alstavik has been a listed building since 1935. The kitchen serves Swedish food made with local produce.

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.
