Djursholm

Djursholm (Swedish pronunciation: [jʉːʂˈhɔlm]) is one of four suburban districts in, and the seat of Danderyd Municipality, Stockholm County, Sweden. Djursholm is included in the multi-municipal Stockholm urban area. Djursholm is divided into a number of different areas: Djursholms Ekeby (northwest), Svalnäs (northeast), Ösby (central), Berga (southwest) and Gamla Djursholm ('Old Djursholm', southeast). Since the community was founded in 1889, Djursholm has largely been characterized by villa buildings on large plots of land. However, over the years, the older houses have been supplemented with both more modern villas and city center buildings as well as smaller areas with apartment buildings. Several areas in the community consist of buildings typical of their time, characterised by styles such as romantic nationalism, neoclassicism and functionalism. Djursholm, with approximately 9,300 inhabitants, is considered an exclusive residential area, with some of the country's most expensive addresses, and has been the residence of several notable representatives of Swedish finance and business, academia and cultural life.
