Gåsgränd (Swedish: “Goose Alley”) is an alley in Gamla stan, the old town in central Stockholm, Sweden. This road was initially named after a woman Ragnhild Grågås who lived there in 1492. She was accused for incest and was sentenced to banishment from the capital for defamation. The attention of the Stockholm towards her case led to the initial naming of the alley as “Alley of the Grey-Goose”.
