Palace sights in Sweden

  1. Royal Palace

    The 'new' Royal Palace is one of Stockholm's highlights; it was constructed on the site of the 'old' royal castle, Tre Kronor, which burned down in 1697. The north wing of the castle survived and was incorporated into the new palace, but its medieval designs are now concealed by a baroque exterior.

    With 608 rooms, it's the world's largest royal castle still used for its original purpose.

    Kungliga Slottet

    Built on the ruins of the original Tre Kronor royal fortress, this 18th-century palace has 608 rooms and three museums: the Skattkammaren, the archeologically inclined Museum Tre Kronor and the hit-and-miss GustavIII’s Antikmuseum.
