Eskilstuna House, Royal palace site in Eskilstuna, Sweden.

The palace consisted of a two-story structure covering 80 meters square, featuring two towers with domed roofs on the south facade, built around a central courtyard.

The palace originated from a medieval monastery established by Hospitallers, which was transformed into a royal residence following the Swedish Reformation in 1527.

The palace witnessed significant events, including the birth of Duke John's daughter Anna and the initiation of a rebellion against King Eric XIV in 1568.

Following a devastating fire in 1680, the remains of the palace were partially repurposed for the construction of the Royal Palace in Stockholm.

The palace grounds now host a school and cemetery, with visible foundation remnants marking the location of this former royal residence.
