Royal Mews, Museum and royal stables in Östermalm, Stockholm, Sweden.

The Royal Mews at Väpnargatan 1 and Riddargatan 22 is a red-brick stable complex built 1890–1894 to Fritz Eckert's designs, with round-arched windows, corner turrets and steep roofs with green copper caps. Nine buildings enclose an open courtyard behind a monumental gatehouse. It still houses the royal household's horses and about 40 carriages.

Founded in 1535 under Gustav Vasa, the stables originally served in different Stockholm locations before relocating to the current building in 1894. This move reflects how the institution adapted alongside the growing city while maintaining its central role in supporting the royal household.

The stables remain an active place where royal traditions are carried out every day. Visitors can observe how carriages and horses still serve important state occasions, keeping alive customs that have been passed down through generations.

The site is straightforward to visit and offers tours where staff explain current operations and the collection. It helps to check ahead about special occasions, as these can affect availability for visitors.

The mews keeps 16 horses, all Swedish Warmbloods and all chestnut to give a uniform appearance. They are ridden daily regardless of public duties, and a walking machine lets each horse follow a slow circular course for 45 minutes a day.
