The History of Ulriksdal Palace
Ulriksdal Palace was built in the 17th century in the late Renaissance style. The palace quickly became a popular destination for nobility and royalty and was often visited by Queen Christina. She appreciated it so much that she had her coronation procession depart from there in 1650. In the 18th century, Gustav III held outstanding parties at the palace. In the 19th century, Karl XV transformed the palace into a museum with antique furniture, porcelain, and art collections. King Gustaf VI Adolf and Queen Louise Mountbatten occupied the palace from 1923 and often lived there for the rest of their lives.

During the day, there is also time for your discoveries. Take a stroll around the palace and have a closer look at King Gustaf VI Adolf's and Queen Louise's Mountbatten's living rooms or have a Swedish fika or lunch at the palace café.
