Per Albin-husen is a group of 94 row houses on Ålstensgatan in Bromma. Architect Paul Hedqvist designed them, and they were built in the 1930s. Their 45-degree zigzag line was designed to improve views to the south and create a sheltered patio in each garden. The houses are now K-marked.

The name comes from Per Albin Hansson, the Social Democratic politician who decided to move into one of the houses. He lived at Ålstensgatan 40 until his death. His former home is identifiable by its semi-circular extension, making that address a point to look for along the row.

Hansson was Sweden’s prime minister from 1932 to 1946, apart from a short period in 1936. The houses have become a symbol of the Swedish folkhemmet. A visit is centred on the buildings themselves: their repeated form, the angled line along the street and the distinctive extension at number 40. The visitor information gives no admission price, opening hours or suggested visit length.
