Kråkgränd
Kråkgränd (Swedish: "Crow Alley") is an alley in Gamla stan, the old town of Stockholm, Sweden. Stretching between Skeppsbron and Österlånggatan, it forms a parallel street to Bredgränd and Nygränd.
The alley is named after Knut Nilsson Kråka, in 1608 promoted to one of the 48 Elders of the city and in 1615 a magistrate.[1] He failed to deliver taxes required however and was subsequently freed from his duties in 1623 and died as a custom officer by the southern gate in 1625.[2]
