The Ekensberg Tavern by the time it was head office for the ship-building company Ekensbergs Varv, 1931.

Ekensberg's Tavern är heritage-protected baroque-era house at Gröndalsvägen 184 in Stockholm. The building itself is thought to be constructed around the year 1700, and at times during the following century was a tavern for sailors and visitors form Stockholm - hence it's name.

Woodcut of the tavern, ca mid-19th century.

The house was first mentioned in a transactional paper in 1935.

Of the many owners, many belonged to the Swedish nobility. It is also often referenced as a courthouse in historical literature, although there is no mention of the period when this was the case.

In the 1790's, during the first period of the Sedish freedom of the press - the oldest such legislation in the world - the house was a book printer's, owned by a man by the name of Jonas Hultander (deceased 1825).. [[Category:Carl Michael Bellman]]
