Rosersbergs slott

About the museum

Rosersberg was built in 1634–1638 for the chief treasurer of the realm (riksskattmästare) Gabriel Bengtsson Oxenstierna in German-Dutch Renaissance style. In the later part of the 17th century his son Bengt Oxenstierna had the palace modernised in Baroque style, with Nicodemus Tessin the Younger as architect; from that period, among other things, the garden grottoes and a colonnade are preserved.

The palace was bought by the state in 1757 and placed at the disposal of Duke Karl. Duke Karl, later Karl XIII, had the palace modernised under the direction of the architect Jean Eric Rehn, and at the end of the 1790s several new interiors were added, among them the Orange Salon (Orangea salongen), the Red Salon (Röda salongen) and the Hoglandsrummet. Karl XIV Johan and Queen Desideria were the last royals to live at Rosersberg.

The palace rooms have remained largely untouched since 1860 and give an impression of a royal setting from around 1800. Karl XIV Johan's bedroom is counted among the country's foremost interiors from the early 19th century. The palace is today managed by Kungliga slotten (the Royal Palaces).
