The Riksdag building (in Swedish: Gamla Riksdagshuset, "The Old House of Parliament") is the former seat of the Parliament of Sweden. It is located in Birger Jarls torg in Stockholm. It was the seat of the Riksdag from 1866-1905. Before that it had from 1833 been the House of the Estates of Sweden. An additional part to the seaside was designed in 1911 by Aron Johansson.
