Umeå Old Prison

The Umeå Old Prison (Swedish: Umeå gamla fängelse or länscellfängelset) is a former prison and hotel in Umeå. The building was completed in 1861. The prison was one of few buildings that did not burn down at the city fire of 1888. Thus, it is one of Umeå's oldest remaining buildings and is listed bu

ilding since 1992. The prison housed inmates until 1981 and during the 1980s and 1990s theater plays were organized there. In 2007–2008, the prison was rebuilt into a hotel.
