Chokladkoppen is a cozy café with lovely food and cold and hot drinks in a unique building at Stortorget 18 in the heart of Gamla stan (Old town) in Stockholm.
Stortorget 18 Gamla Stan Stockholm
Stortorget 18 was built during the 16th century
History
The house where Chokladkoppen is located was probably built as early as the 1520s and has a staircase towards Stortorget and medieval masonry on three floors.
In the 1620s, the building was owned by the seiner Hans Seyfridzt, and therefore the building is today called the Seyfridtz House. When Hans Seyfridzt died, his widow remarried with Johan Eberhard Schantz, who also owned the house on the left, where Café Kaffekoppen is located.
During a renovation in the 18th century, the Seyfridtzska house got its current look with Stockholm's yellow facade facing Stortorget.
