Härnösand Residence

62°37′55″N 17°56′14″E The county residence in Härnösand (Swedish: länsresidenset i Härnösand) is the formal residence of the County Governor of Västernorrland County, Sweden. It is located in central Härnösand. The building was designed by architect Olof Tempelman and built 1785–1790. It is one of the earliest examples of Neoclassical architecture in Sweden. The sober façade with its giant order of pilasters and relative lack of decorative elements came to influence Swedish architecture far into the 19th century. The building underwent a major renovation in the 1920s.
