This door is found in Gamla stan ("Old town") in Stockholm. The city was founded in 1252, but this building is considerably newer, from the 1630s. The famous french philosopher René Descartes lived a while on the invitation of the Queen Christina in Stockholm from 1649 to early 1650, when he died, possibly in this very building.
