Strömbadet, officially Stockholms Bad- och Siminrättning i Norrström, was the first large cold bathhouse in Stockholm, located in Norrström, just north of Riddarholmen. It was opened in 1884 and was made entirely of wood in neo-Renaissance style designed by the architect brothers Axel Kumlien and Hjalmar Kumlien.[1]
The baths opened in 1884 to replace Gjörckes on Riddarholmen.[2] Strömbadet had several pools, among them the 39 metres (128 ft) men's pool.[2] In 1933, the water of Norrström was considered unhealthy and bathing was prohibited, which lead to the building being demolished in 1936.[2]
