Rosendal Palace

Rosendal was a summer palace where members of the royal family could come to escape the formalities of courtly life in the city. It is so well-preserved that one gets a sense of how it actually looked when the Bernadottes stayed here. This makes the palace a unique document of the Swedish Empire style, also known as the Karl Johan style.

Rosendal Palace was built in the 1820s for King Karl XIV Johan. One of the more significant architects of the time, Fredrik Blom, was commissioned to design and construct the palace building. The building was manufactured as a prefabricated house.

Opening hours:
31 May – 15 June: Saturday-Sunday
17 June – 17 August: Tuesday-Sunday

The palace is open in conjunction with guided tours at 12:00, 13:00, 14:00, and 15:00. Tour are given in Swedish and English.
