Rosendals Trädgård

Visiting Rosendals Trädgård, one has a great opportunity to experience locally cultivated and produced phenomena and items.

In 1819, the architect Fredrik Blom constructed a royal castle linked to the area known as "Rosendals Trädgård".

At the same time a winter garden was also built, creating an opportunity to cultivate tropical plants even during wintertime.

Queen Josefina had a great interest in gardening and made it possible for the development to take place by establishing a number of plantations and greenhouses.

In 1861, Queen Josefina also collaborated with the Swedish Gardening Society, something that made it possible to start a gardening-academy in the area.

Together they reformed and structured the garden and its administration after their ideal, the Royal Horticultural Society in London.

All the work that was implemented during Queen Josefina's lifetime led to a development that made Rosendals Trädgård flourish.

But in the late 1960s the Royal Administration of Djurgården acceded Rosendals Trädgård and restored it into its former glory of Queen Josefina.
