The word "var" in Swedish means "was" or "were" in English, typically used as the past tense of "is." The word "ligger" means "lies" or "is located," often used when describing the location of something. "Riksdagshuset" is the Swedish term for the Parliament House, specifically the seat of the Swedish parliament called the Riksdag. It is located on the island of Helgeandsholmen in central Stockholm, in the old town district called Gamla stan. The building complex, designed in a neoclassical style with baroque revival elements, was constructed between 1897 and 1905. It houses the Swedish parliament and has historically also included the Swedish National Bank in one of its wings. The term literally means "[Riksdagshuset](javascript:void(0))" referring to the official Parliament House building in Sweden.
