Löwenströmska lasarettet is a locality situated in Upplands Väsby Municipality, Stockholm County, Sweden with 518 inhabitants in 2010.[1]The locality is named after a hospital that was founded by the brother of Jacob Johan Anckarström, the murderer of king Gustav III of Sweden. The brother Gustaf Adolf Anckarström changed his family name to Löwenström, and started the hospital as an act of penance.The first hospital was built in 1809-1811 and it was used until 1993. Some other buildings were added over the years such as a sanatorium and a psychiatric hospital.
A new hospital building from the 1960's had taken over most of the chores since it was inaugurated. The old buildings are now abandoned.
