The landshövdingehus (Swedish:[ˈlândsˌhœvdɪŋɛˌhʉːs]; English: "governor house") is a type of building unique to Gothenburg, Sweden. City bylaws in the 19th century ruled that houses made of wood could be a maximum of two storeys high in order to protect against fires. However, one building association tried to circumvent the rule and submitted drawings for a building with the ground storey made of brick and two upper storeys made of wood. The city building council did not accept the application, but the county government overruled them and the landshövdingehus was born.[1]
