Bonde Palace, Baroque palace in Gamla stan, Stockholm, Sweden

The Bonde Palace features a French-influenced design with an H-shaped layout, two southern wings, and northern wings surrounding a Baroque garden.

Built between 1662 and 1673 as the residence of Lord High Treasurer Gustaf Bonde, the palace later served as Stockholm Court House from 1730.

The palace facade displays Ionic pilasters, festoons, and portraits of Roman Emperors, representing Swedish architectural development in the 1600s.

Located at Riddarhustorget 8 in Stockholm, the palace functions as the Swedish Supreme Court and stands between the House of Knights and Chancellery House.

A fire in 1710 destroyed the original roofing, yet the northern wings retain their corner cupolas from the initial construction period.
