Haga park, English landscape garden in Solna, 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 managed by the National Property Board and maintained by the Royal Djurgården Administration. The large lawn, the Pelouse, may be walked on and is used for barbecues in summer and sledding in winter. The park is open to the public and lies along the western shore of Brunnsviken, with the southern end near Stallmästaregården at the edge of central Stockholm.
Haga Palace, built 1802–1805 for Gustav IV Adolf, was the birthplace of Carl XVI Gustaf and his three sisters. Since 2010 it has been the home of Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel, who moved in after their wedding.
