Själagårdsgatan

Stretching south from Köpmangatan to Tyska Brunnsplan, it forms a parallel street to Baggensgatan.

It crosses the small triangular square Brända Tomten and is intercepted by Kindstugatan, Tyska Skolgränd, and Svartmangatan.

The institution was founded by a Christian Charitable trust as a home for old and sick, financed by donations (själagåvor, "gifts of the soul").

This sort of Christian institution disappeared after the Reformation during the second half of the 16th century.

[1] The film Den vita katten directed by Hasse Ekman in 1950 was shot at this location.
