About

The palace retains its original furnishings from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, providing a rare glimpse into Sweden’s aristocratic past. Visitors can explore grand halls, elegant salons, and unique textiles that reflect the Gustavian and Empire styles. The vast parkland surrounding the palace, set against the backdrop of Lake Mälaren, adds to its charm, making it an ideal destination for history enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
