Free entry to Rosersberg Palace

Visit one of Sweden’s hidden gems, the Rosersberg Palace situated by the breath-taking Lake Mälaren. Built by the Oxenstierna family in the 1630s, Rosersberg Palace became a royal palace when the state gave Rosersberg to Gustav III's younger brother Karl XIII  in the 18th century. Get a true feel for the palace on a free guided tour around the rooms and halls to experience a true unaltered royal milieu and learn more about royal interiors and art from the late 18th/early 19th century.

The palace also boasts the finest examples and best-kept royal interiors in Sweden from the late 18th century and early 19th century and the rooms have remained untouched since then with well-preserved period features, furniture and collections. Don’t leave without taking a stroll in the magnificent gardens to admire the French baroque style, designed by Nicodemus Tessin the younger at the end of the 17th century.
