    Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde

    Dubbed ‘the painter prince’, Prins Eugens (1865–1947) once lived at this waterside villa, designed by Ferdinand Boberg, creator of the NK department store. The property now houses the late prince’s superlative collection of Nordic art, including works by Anders Zorn, Carl Larsson and Isaac Grünewald, as well as landscape paintings by the reclusive royal himself. The terraced garden boasts sculptures by Carl Milles and Auguste Rodin, sublimely matched by cool water views and an 18th-century windmill.
