Rosersberg Castle

The origins of Rosersberg Palace date back to the years 1634 to 1638, when the construction of the three-story main building with its four two-story side wings took place. A renovation in the Baroque style was carried out in the 1680s and 1690s according to designs by architect Nicodemus Tessin d. J. In 1762, the palace came into the possession of Duke Karl, who initiated further alterations. His successor, Karl XIV Johan, had the interior decorated in the Empire style and an English landscape park laid out. Until 1860, Rosersberg served as a royal pleasure palace and was inhabited by Queen Desideria from 1823. After her death, the main building stood vacant and temporarily housed an artillery school.
