Prins Eugens ek, Important oak tree in Djurgården, Stockholm, Sweden

The oak tree stands 21 meters tall with a trunk circumference of 9.2 meters, making it the largest living oak in Stockholm.

During the 16th century, Swedish law protected oak trees for naval construction purposes, with unauthorized cutting punishable by death.

The tree bears the name of Prince Eugen, Duke of Närke, and grows north of his former residence at Waldemarsudde.

Visitors can contact the County Administrative Board of Stockholm at +46 10-223 10 00 for information about the Royal National City Park.

The tree originally featured three trunks until lightning strikes damaged its structure, requiring metal supports and ground anchoring for stabilization.

Location: Stockholm Municipality
