The russian yard

The Russian yard is located at Slussen, just south of the old town and the beginning of the south side of town. This photo is taken from the Katarinaelevator
The Russian yard name was established in 1967 and came after the history that russian merchants had here. Between 1641 and 1820 russian salesmen came here to sell their goods and at the most there was 74 different stands, a russian sauna and also a small russian church.

Nowadays there are some stands which sells flowers, fruit and other usual market merchandise. But hardly to the same extent as before.
