Villa Ekeliden
Villa Ekeliden, located in Karlskoga Municipality, Sweden, holds historical significance as a prominent structure within the city center at Centralplan.[1] Situated alongside an esker to the east, it stands as the second oldest building in Karlskoga,[2] with only the Karlskoga Church predating it in age.[3]
History
Villa Ekeliden, a wooden building adorned in a light-yellow hue and featuring horizontal paneling,[4] has served various purposes throughout its history. It began its journey as a bell-ringer's house and later transformed into a pharmacy, as depicted in Selma Lagerlöf's renowned 1925 novel, "Charlotte Löwensköld,"[5][2][6] set in 1867.[3] Subsequently, it housed a public library before eventually being repurposed as a restaurant and coffeehouse.
