Kreditbanken at Norrmalmstorg

Kreditbanken at Norrmalmstorg

Stockholm is an extremely interesting city to live in. You just have to know or know someone who knows something about the city and has a story or two to tell you.

I've passed by this building many times without paying any attention to it until one day a friend of mine told me that it has something to do with Stockholm syndrome. I just had to look it up and indeed it does. This is the place where the Stockholm syndrome was born!

The syndrome wasn't actually born in this building but the Norrmalmstorg robbery that took place in it in 1973 led to the introduction of the term which is used world-wide nowadays.
