Katarinahissen (Katarina Elevator or Katarina Lift) is a passenger elevator in Stockholm that connects Slussen area to the heights of Södermalm district in the city centre. The original lift, designed by the engineer Knut Lindmark, was constructed by the Belgian firm Lecoq & Comp in 1881 and opened on 19 March 1883, but the current structure dates from the rebuilding of the Slussen transport interchange in 1936. The lift was closed for a lengthy renovation in 2010 and reopened in October 2023.
