Blue door, Governmental gate at Royal Djurgården, Stockholm, Sweden
The Blue Door is a formal gateway to Djurgården featuring 19th-century architectural details and design. It connects the city with a large park that holds museums, gardens, and waterfront areas.
The gateway was built in 1848 as a new entrance after an older structure further south no longer served the purpose. This occurred during a period when the park was being modernized in the 1800s.
The gate marks where the city of Stockholm meets a national park space that was once used for royal hunting and is now open to everyone.
This entrance is easy to reach by public transportation and provides direct access to park attractions. Plan extra time to explore the museums and gardens that spread out from this main entry point.
Visitors once paid entrance fees to pass through this gate until 1862, when the park fully opened to the public. The money collected helped maintain the grounds during the 19th century.
