Strömsholm Palace, Royal palace in Hallstahammar Municipality, Sweden.

The yellow Baroque palace stands on an islet where the Kolbäck river meets Lake Mälaren, featuring four corner towers and a central domed tower.

Queen Hedvig Eleonora commissioned architect Nicodemus Tessin the Elder to build the palace between 1669 and 1674, replacing a 1550s fortress.

The palace exhibits Gustavian style interiors from the 1760s, including the Queen's Bedchamber with original decorative elements and furnishings.

The palace opens its doors to visitors during summer months, with guided tours available and special arrangements for group visits throughout the year.

The palace houses a collection of 17th-century Swedish paintings, including works by David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl depicting King Charles XI's horses.
