House of Nobility
House of Nobility, Baroque palace in Gamla Stan, Stockholm, Sweden
The House of Nobility is a Baroque palace in Gamla Stan featuring copper-clad domed roofs and ornate sandstone decorations across its facade. The building contains a grand entrance portal with classical columns and spacious interior halls that once served as a gathering place.
The building was completed in 1674 by architect Jean de la Vallée and served as a meeting place for Swedish nobility. Until 1866 it hosted important gatherings before its purpose gradually shifted.
The Session Hall displays coats of arms on its walls, each one representing a Swedish noble family registered over centuries. When you enter this room, these symbols create a visual record of the country's aristocratic lineage.
The building can be visited, though advance planning helps as tours operate on a set schedule. Check the official website before your visit to learn about current visiting conditions and what to expect.
The house maintains detailed genealogical records of Swedish noble families and updates them regularly. These carefully maintained documents make it a valuable resource for those tracing family ancestry and history.
