Louis De Geers palats, Palace and apartment building in Södermalm, Sweden

Located at Götgatan 16, this Dutch Classicist structure features distinctive portals displaying the Brahe and De la Gardie family coats of arms on its facade.

Built in 1650 by German mason Jürgen Gesewitz following plans from a Dutch architect, the palace became the residence of Ebba Brahe after Louis De Geer's death in 1651.

The palace houses the Netherlands Embassy since 1963, representing a connection between Swedish and Dutch architectural and diplomatic relations through centuries.

The main building of the palace remains visible through the street-facing portal at Götgatan, while the preserved construction plans are stored in Leufsta gårds archive.

The palace includes a gazebo-like structure called a 'cave', designed by architect Mathias Holl, which incorporated a decorative colonnade in its construction.
