In Stockholm, the Bondesches Palais is an example of Baroque architecture in Sweden. Originally built as a residence, it now serves as the seat of the Supreme Court.

History+

The construction of the Bondesches Palais took place between 1662 and 1673, commissioned by the Lord High Treasurer Gustaf Bonde. The plans for the building, which has an H-shaped footprint and encloses a small Baroque garden, were designed by architects Nicodemus Tessin d. Ä. and Jean de la Vallée. A fire in 1710 destroyed the original copper roof. Due to financial difficulties, the Bonde family had to rent out and later sell the palace. Subsequently, it housed a court and the royal library before being acquired by the City of Stockholm in 1730 and used as its city hall for two centuries.
