The City Mission in Kalmar
Kalmar city mission on Södra Långgatan in Kalmar was a fairly anonymous house painted in 80s pink. When the facade needed to be redone, the coloring was restored to the one the house had in the 1880s. The house became a jewel along the street that makes many people raise their eyebrows!
Bremerska gården is also called the property after the man who first had a house built on the plot in the 17th century, Jürgen Bremer. The house got its present appearance in the 1880s when it began to be used as a printing house and later a newspaper editorial office for the Kalmar county newspaper and the newspaper Kalmar. From here, many of Kalmar city's news have been spread for almost 100 years! The renovation in 2016-17 was carried out with antiquarian participation from the Kalmar county museum.
