The alley is passing north of the Bank of Sweden Building constructed by the architect Nicodemus Tessin the Elder (1615-1684) during the period 1666-1682. The part of the building facing Skeppsbron was rebuilt later and when the northern bank building was built during the 1770s, a covered bridge over the alley was added. The bank moved to Helgeandsholmen in 1906.[1]
