Tyresö Palace

Tyresö Palace is a three-story castle on the Kalvfjärden shore with two gabled towers and detached wings topped with copper-clad spires. The building spans approximately 40 meters and blends national Romantic style with Art Nouveau features.

Gabriel Oxenstierna founded the palace in 1636 and Marquis Claes Lagergren undertook extensive reconstruction from 1892 to 1930 under architect Isak Gustaf Clason. This transformation reshaped the building into its present form with modern design elements.

The Nordic Museum foundation manages the property and displays the daily life of Swedish nobility through furnished rooms and preserved collections. Visitors can see how the family lived, with spaces that reveal their routines and lifestyle.

The palace sits roughly 25 kilometers southeast of Stockholm and is reachable by standard transport. It offers guided summer tours while the English-style park and Mediterranean gardens remain open year-round.

The property contains Sweden's first English garden, created in 1770 and blending natural landscape elements with a Swedish floral meadow. This garden combination represents an early example of landscape design principles in Scandinavia.
