The Parliament House in Stockholm was designed by Aron Johansson, who won an 1889 design competition. The Riksdag and the Swedish National Bank, Sveriges Riksbank, were the clients. The infobox and text agree on construction from 1897 to 1905, with the inauguration on January 11, 1905.
The article calls the style Neoclassical, with a centered Baroque Revival section of the facade. It names no materials or dimensions. The building replaced the Old Riksdag Building on Riddarholmen.
After the Riksdag became unicameral in 1971 and the bank relocated, the bank's building was rebuilt as a new Assembly Hall, and Parliament used temporary premises at Kulturhuset meanwhile. The Right Livelihood Award, established in 1980, has been presented in ceremonies here. It is the seat of the Swedish Parliament on Helgeandsholmen. The article gives no visiting hours.
