Haga Palace, Royal palace in Solna Municipality, Sweden
Haga Palace is a royal residence in Solna Municipality, Sweden, built in the classical style and now serving as the home of the Swedish crown princess. The facade shows a balcony resting on four Doric columns made from Finnish marble.
King Gustav IV Adolf commissioned architect Carl Christoffer Gjörwell in 1802 to design the building as a residence for the royal children. Construction was completed the same year and created a classical royal home.
The name comes from Haga Park, which surrounds the building and has been connected to the Swedish royal family for centuries. Visitors can see the outer facade and the maintained gardens, while the inner rooms remain reserved for the royal family.
The residence has been home to Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Daniel, and their children since 2010 and is not open for public tours. Visitors can view the exterior and surrounding parkland from Haga Park.
Between World War I and 1932, the building served as shelter for orphaned and homeless children. This unusual use turned the royal residence into a temporary children's home.
