Noor Palace

Noor palace was confiscated as part of the reduction by King Charles XI in 1686, whereafter it was used as a royal hunting lodge.

In 1689 King Charles XI sold the mansion to his adviser Count Nils Gyldenstolpe.

[1] He rebuilt the mansion in Swedish Carolean Style (karolinerstil), the style of fashion in Sweden during the period of the two Carolean kings, based on drawings by Jean de la Vallée.

[2][3] Erik Dahlberg made a drawing of the house for his Suecia antiqua et hodierna.

[4] Nobel laureate Verner von Heidenstam wrote his historical novel The Caroleans (Karolinerna) at Noor palace in 1897, during a spell of one year at the mansion to benefit from its late 17th century atmosphere.
