Gubbhyllan - the historical building
Gubbhyllan lies at the foot of the Skansen escalator. It was erected in 1816 on Djurgården and served principally as a summer residence until 1852 when it was acquired by a pastry cook called Wilhelm Davidson. He opened a Swiss café there selling cakes and aperitifs. In 1872 the so-called Parisian saloon was added, named on account of the French wallpaper depicting the story och Amor and Psyche.
