Svartsjö Palace, Rococo château in Svartsjö, Sweden
The palace stands on Färingsö island in Lake Mälaren, featuring a symmetrical design with a central building and two extended wings.
Frederick I of Sweden ordered the construction of this palace in 1734, replacing an earlier Renaissance structure that burned down in 1687.
The palace design by Carl Hårleman established a template for Swedish mansions, influencing architectural trends throughout the 18th century.
The palace underwent a complete restoration between 1994 and 2003, with an investment of 36 million Swedish kronor from state funds.
Between 1891 and 1966, the palace served as a prison where inmates worked in granite quarries and later managed farming operations.
