The Sager House, first recorded in historical records from the 1640, is a historic castle in central Stockholm. According to the provided OSM data, it is classified as a castle. In 1880, the property was purchased by the Sager brothers and was owned by the Sager family until 1986, when it was bought by the Swedish State. The building was transformed into the Prime Minister's residence in 1893, a role it continues to fulfill today. Before this purchase, no official residence for the head of government was available in Stockholm. The Sager House, originally a palace, was remodeled by Robert Sager in 1893, including the addition of a new floor within a Mansard roof and Neo-Rococo details. The first prime minister to move in after the renovation was Göran Persson in 1996.
