Haga park, English landscape park in Solna Municipality, Sweden
Haga Park is an English landscape garden in Solna Municipality featuring woodland areas, open meadows, and several architectural buildings throughout the grounds. Winding paths connect these different areas and create a unified design across the entire estate.
King Gustav III commissioned this garden in the late 18th century under architects Fredrik Magnus Piper and Louis Jean Desprez. The project was part of the king's plan to create a modern royal estate in the English style.
The park contains various structures like the Copper Tents and Turkish Kiosk that show how Swedish nobility designed gardens in the 18th century. These buildings reflect the era's taste for exotic and romantic elements.
The park is easy to reach and offers multiple walking trails plus rest areas for various activities. Good connections to Stockholm's public transportation make visiting straightforward.
The park contains Haga Palace, which has maintained its royal connection since the estate was created. It remains a private residence today and demonstrates how the garden and royal home were designed as one integrated space.
