Villa Solbacken, Royal residence in Djurgården, Stockholm, Sweden

Villa Solbacken spans 2,600 square feet across two floors, featuring multiple entertainment areas on the main level and four bedrooms on the upper floor.

Built in 1930 by architect Ragnar Hjorth, the villa became a royal property when Prince Bertil purchased it in 1939 and later passed it to Prince Carl Philip.

The residence maintains Swedish architectural traditions while incorporating modern adaptations through its recent renovation to accommodate the current royal family's lifestyle.

The property underwent extensive renovations in 2014, including asbestos removal, before Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia could establish their permanent residence.

During the main renovation period, workers discovered asbestos throughout the building, leading the royal couple to temporarily relocate to Rosendal Palace until 2017.
