The Riksdag buildings on Helgeandsholmen and in the Old Town of Stockholm are in need of renovation. The plan is to gradually renovate and develop the individual buildings in order to create the best possible conditions for the work of the members and the Riksdag.
The Riksdag has conducted an inquiry into how the unique historical environment below Riksplan can be preserved and made available to the public in connection with planned reconstruction work.

The preparations for the renovation of the Cephalus complex in the Old Town of Stockholm, preliminarily scheduled to start in spring 2025, will continue during 2024. The complex is situated between Myntgatan, Salviigränd, Västerlånggatan and Storkyrkobrinken. It has not undergone any major reconstruction work since the 1950s. The need to modernise, among other things, the ventilation system and interior surfaces is therefore great. The premises are used by members of the Riksdag and officials from the Riksdag Administration.
The extensive renovations of the Members’ Building in the Old Town of Stockholm have been completed. The building has been transformed into a modern office building which is adapted to the work of the Riksdag and the members.
The Riksdag Administration received a building permit for all parts of the renovation of the Members’ Building, but the special permit for the extension by the western courtyard has later been withdrawn, following a decision of the Land and Environment Court of Appeal.

Some of the Riksdag buildings are around 100 years old, and have not been renovated since the 1980s. The buildings need to be adapted to the Riksdag of today and of the future. An objective is to create the best possible conditions for the work of the Riksdag and to make it easier to visit the Riksdag.
