Asklunds Bageri, Gothenburg

The industrial bakery era peaked in Gothenburg during the 1870s, when the population increased, and therefore so did the demand for bread. Asklund's bakery first started at Albogatan in Annedal but moved to larger facilities at Övre Husargatan in 1901. There were over 150 people working there in 1914. The old bakery has been shut down for many years now, and a housing agency, self-service store and students now reside there. But you can still admire the bakery's redbrick building with white window-frames at the corner of Övre Husargatan and Risåsgatan. To get here, take tram 2 to Brunnsgatan.
