Hagalund

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For Hagalund, Espoo, see Tapiola.

Hagalund is a residential area and railway yard in Solna, 5km north of Stockholm. It is known for the blue skyscrapers "Blåkulla" (Blue Hill) which, against a rather strong and long-lasting opinion, in the beginning of the 1970-ties replaced a picturesque working-class and craftsman neighbourhood built in the 1890s and portrayed by artist Olle Olsson Hagalund. There are still about half a dozen old houses preserved, a minor area called Gamla Hagalund (Old Hagalund) in the eastern part of the area.

It has eight large light-blue residential buildings that consist of 13 floors and an extra roof floor.
