- Trångsund, Stockholm
Trångsund (Swedish: "Narrow Strait") is a small
street oralley inGamla stan , the old town ofStockholm ,Sweden . Stretching from Stortorget in front ofStorkyrkan toStorkyrkobrinken , it is intercepted byAnkargränd andSpektens Gränd and forms a parallel street toPrästgatan andKällargränd .In the 15th century the name "Trångsund" was used for a narrow street in the southern end of Gamla stan, possibly
Mårten Trotzigs Gränd , but by the end of the 16th century it was used for the formerly nameless alley. As the church used to be surrounded by a graveyard, Trångsund used to be much narrower before both the graveyard and the wall around it were demolished in 1816.cite book
