Stenbockska Palatset, Baroque castle in Riddarholmen, Stockholm, Sweden.

Stenbockska Palatset stands on Birger Jarls Square with a symmetrical facade featuring intricate stone details and large rectangular windows across three floors.

The castle construction began in 1649 for Fredrik Gustavsson Stenbock and his wife Katarina De la Gardie, following designs by architect Nicodemus Tessin the Elder.

The palace interior contains significant decorative elements from the 1730s, including ceiling paintings and door ornaments created by artist Johan Pasch.

The palace currently houses sections of the Svea Court of Appeal and stands at coordinates 59.32540825 latitude and 18.06374189 longitude.

The first Masonic reception in Sweden took place within these walls on March 17, 1735, when Count Axel Wrede Sparre initiated Carl Gustaf Tessin.
