Sofiero Palace, Royal palace in Helsingborg Municipality, Sweden.

The palace building features Dutch Renaissance architecture with stone walls and incorporates two rhododendron ravines overlooking the Öresund and Denmark.

Prince Oscar of Sweden purchased the Scanian farm Skabelycke in 1864, constructing the initial palace before expanding it between 1874 and 1876.

The palace grounds host outdoor summer concerts, presenting performances by international musicians including Bob Dylan, Bryan Adams, James Brown, and Norah Jones.

The palace opens from April to September, offering guided tours, a restaurant, a café, a gift shop, and access to the gardens with 10,000 rhododendron plants.

King Gustaf VI Adolf developed the gardens with 500 different rhododendron varieties, creating one of Europe's largest collections of these flowering plants.
