Abrahamsberg

Abrahamsberg is a residential district in the Västerort section of Stockholm Municipality, Sweden, and part of the Bromma borough.

It is bordered by Riksby, Stora Mossen, Ålsten, Olovslund and Åkeslund and is served by the Abrahamsberg metro station.

It takes its name from Gustaf Abraham Pihl (born 1829), who moved in the mid-19th century into the so-called "dragoon's cottage", which was probably built in the early 18th century and is now one of the last remaining soldiers' cottages in the area,[2] and his son, Abraham Pihl the younger; in 1889 Pihl built a brick house nearby, in which his son lived after him, and this house came to be known as Abrahamsberg and gave its name to the settlement.

Between then and 1945 it was developed with three-storey blocks of flats in a parklike setting.

In 1952 this was replaced by the underground with the opening of Abrahamsberg metro station.
