Beridarebanan (also Rännarbanan or Rännebanan, originally called Rännebanshuset) was a riding ground built south of Hötorget in Stockholm in the 1620s on the initiative of Gustav II Adolf. During the 1600s the facility was used for breaking in and training horses, horse competitions, tournament games and coronation festivities. Tord O:son Nordberg has described the construction of the building: At its largest, the facility stretched from Hötorget down to Mäster Samuelsgatan, flanked by today's Sergelgatan and Slöjdgatan.
