Kronhuset is Gothenburg's oldest preserved building. It was built over a ten year period and completed in 1653. Even during the building period, the big storage house was called Kronhuset (House of the Crown); the building served as a storage facility for the Crown. Parliament convened on the ground floor in 1660. Since 1929, Kronhuset has been the property of the municipality of Gothenburg.
Kronhusbodarna (sheds belonging to Kronhuset) date from the eighteenth century, and now house an old—fashioned country—style store and a café. Kronhuset and Kronhusbodarna are only a few minutes walk from Brunnsparken.
