Have you ever heard of a prison island? Långholmskanalen flows right past one. Långholmskanalen separates the island of Långholmen from Reimersholme. You might be surprised to learn that Långholmen was once home to Långholmen Prison. This prison was operational from 1874 to 1975. Even before Långholmen Prison, the island housed Långholmens spinnhus, a women’s prison, from 1724 until it moved to Norrmalm in 1825. Today, the island has shed its harsh past. It has transformed into a haven for locals and tourists alike. You can stroll along the waterfront, enjoy a picnic in Långholmensparken, or even stay overnight in the former prison building, now a hotel and hostel. Långholmen stands as a reminder that even amidst the bustling city, history whispers in the most unexpected places.
