El Katarina Elevator (In Swedish, The Katarina lift) is an open-air metal structure that was built in 1881 to connect the lock area with the upper area of the Södermaln neighborhood of the Swedish capital.
Those locks, an area known as Slussen, separate the waters of the Lake Malaren of those of the Baltic Sea, which are at different heights.
The elevator that you can now see is the result of a remodeling that took place in 1935.
