Svenska Församlingshemmet - Swedish parish home was built in 1936 by the drawings of architect Lars Sonck. Building has also Cafe Ankaret and so there is this anchor on yard. Sign reads
"This anchor is a gift of Björn Trupp that June 21, 1972 downloaded it from Rio, Guanabarra in Brazil.
The anchor was stuck in the M / S Atlanta's chain, then Atlanta on its maiden voyage in April 1971 anchored in Guanabarra, the anchorage for international ships.
It has obviously belonged to a sailing ship on the Hamburg-America Line."
