Schering Rosenhanes palats, 17th-century palace at Birger Jarls torg on Riddarholmen, Sweden.

The Schering Rosenhanes palace features a waterfront facade facing Lake Mälaren and stands as an example of French classical architecture in Stockholm.

Constructed between 1652 and 1656 by architects Nicodemus Tessin the Elder and Jean de la Vallée for the governor Schering Rosenhane on a former mill site.

The Swedish Freemason Order owned the palace from 1776 to 1876, adding east and west wings that modified the original land-facing facade structure.

The Svea Court of Appeal currently occupies the building, with multiple courtrooms, archives, and administrative facilities serving the Swedish judicial system.

Behind an iron hatch in the palace foundation lies the Normal Height Point of Sweden, established in 1886 when the General Staff occupied the building.
