Kråkgränd
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kråkgränd (Swedish: "Crow Alley") is an alley in Gamla stan, the old town of Stockholm, Sweden, stretching between Skeppsbron and Österlånggatan.
The alley is named after Knut Nilsson Kråka, in 1608 promoted to one of the 48 Elders of the city and in 1615 a magistrate. He failed to deliver taxes required however and was subsequently freed from his duties in 1623 and died as a custom officer by the southern gate in 1625.[1]
