Rosendal Palace

It was intended as an escape from the formalities of court life at the Royal Palace.

The creation of the Rosendal Palace in the 1820s marked the beginning of the development of Djurgården into a stately residential area.

When King Oscar II died in 1907, his heirs decided to make Rosendal Palace a museum of the Charles John period and of the life of Charles XIV John.

The palace stands today largely as it did in Charles XIV John's lifetime.

Prince Carl Philip, Duke of Varmland and his wife Princess Sofia lived at Rosendal Palace between 2015–2017 while their permanent home, Villa Solbacken, was being renovated.
