Wrangel Palace, Court building in Riddarholmen, Sweden
Wrangel Palace stands on Riddarholmen islet in Stockholm, with its southern tower rising prominently against the city skyline.
The palace construction began in 1530 as part of Gustav Vasa's defense fortifications and underwent major transformations between 1652 and 1670 under Nicodemus Tessin the Elder.
The building served as the royal residence from 1697 to 1754 after a fire destroyed the Tre Kronor Castle, temporarily becoming known as Kungshuset.
The Svea Court of Appeal occupies the palace since 1756, making it the central location for regional judicial proceedings in Sweden.
The gallery section displays historical illustrations including a copperplate representation from the 1660s by Erik Dahlberg showing the building's original appearance.
