Rosendal Palace is on Djurgården, it is also known as the residence of Swedish kings. When translated from Swedish, it means “the Rose Valley Palace”. The palace is located in a beautiful garden where beautiful flowers blossom every year. In 1823, there were King Carl XIV’s hunting grounds, who began the construction of the palace. It was finished in 4 years. Famous Swedish architect, Fredrik Blom, and famous Stockholm architect, Fredrik August, designed the palace.Both the park and island Djurgården benefited from the construction of the palace, and over time Djurgården became the elite part of Stockholm. In 1907, after King Oscar’s death, the palace was turned into a museum. The style it was built is a part of European architectural charm, which is the most prominent in Sweden.
The palace interior has been perfectly preserved to this day. There you can see truthfully furnished rooms where kings used to live, a library, samples of royal dishes and silver cutlery, some even gold-plated, and luxurious royal furniture. The garden is a home to numerous beautiful roses and tropical plants. You may have a good cup of coffee or taste the famous Swedish buns in the café-restaurant.
