Hello How about if the inner wall next to the stove contains insulation? It's 10cm away but still gets warm. As far as I know, we have insulation in the wall and insulation is dangerous with heat, right? I think many walls next to stoves are insulated?

It has probably not been common in the foreseeable past in history to insulate with flammable materials 10 cm away from a fireplace. I don't think you need to worry. But feel free to post a picture so we can see what it looks like and can respond better!
It's the partner who did it. It's a gypsum wall and between the walls there is insulation. He did it 5 years ago but there is a gypsum board in between. Still think it should get warm?
The stove has a specification on how close it can be to a combustible wall. Some stoves can stand that close (as I recall) and then they're not dangerous. This type of stove is insulated at the back so it can never get so hot that, for example, wooden studs in the wall would ignite (several hundred degrees). Glass wool and stone wool do not burn.

Let's hope the partner knew what he was doing when he put up a wall 1 decimeter from the fireplace?E Ellinor Hellquist80 said:
Drywall doesn't burn, nor does glass/rock wool. If there are wooden studs in the wall, they could theoretically catch fire, but it has to be extremely hot.
Contura's stoves all have (possibly some exceptions) 10 cm to combustible materials, so it is very common for it to look like it does at your place, I wouldn't be worried but the chimney sweep has probably approved the installation?
