Steninge Palace, Baroque palace in Märsta, Sweden

The palace features French-inspired architecture with symmetrical wings, detailed stone ornaments, and a central facade overlooking Lake Mälaren's waters.

Carl Gyllenstierna commissioned architect Nicodemus Tessin the Younger to design the palace, which was completed in 1705 following French Baroque principles.

The monument erected in 1813 at Steninge commemorates Axel von Fersen, a Swedish count with connections to French Queen Marie Antoinette.

The palace grounds maintain regular visiting hours from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM on weekends and 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM during weekdays.

While the interior remains private, visitors can explore the stone barn west of the palace, which now houses shops and dining establishments.
